NAME

gh-workflow-run - Run a workflow by creating a workflow_dispatch event

SYNOPSIS

gh workflow run [<workflow-id> | <workflow-name>] [flags]

DESCRIPTION

Create a workflow_dispatch event for a given workflow.

This command will trigger GitHub Actions to run a given workflow file. The given workflow file must support an on.workflow_dispatch trigger in order to be run in this way.

If the workflow file supports inputs, they can be specified in a few ways:

•

Interactively

•

Via -f/--raw-field or -F/--field flags

•

As JSON, via standard input

OPTIONS

-F , --field <key=value>

Add a string parameter in key=value format, respecting @ syntax (see "gh help api").

--json

Read workflow inputs as JSON via STDIN

-f , --raw-field <key=value>

Add a string parameter in key=value format

-r , --ref <string>

The branch or tag name which contains the version of the workflow file you’d like to run

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

-R , --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO>

Select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format

EXAMPLE

# Have gh prompt you for what workflow you’d like to run and interactively collect inputs
$ gh workflow run

# Run the workflow file ’triage.yml’ at the remote’s default branch
$ gh workflow run triage.yml

# Run the workflow file ’triage.yml’ at a specified ref
$ gh workflow run triage.yml --ref my-branch

# Run the workflow file ’triage.yml’ with command line inputs
$ gh workflow run triage.yml -f name=scully -f greeting=hello

# Run the workflow file ’triage.yml’ with JSON via standard input
$ echo ’{"name":"scully", "greeting":"hello"}’ | gh workflow run triage.yml --json
