Can we give multiple files to copy to different destinations? about copy_file_to_another_repo_action HOT 3 OPEN

@LakshmiRavali you can check my example here

https://github.com/JoseRodrigues443/Awesome-CV/blob/master/.github/workflows/main.yml

Basically I use a matrix with key values (location and destination) and with that I can do what you need

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        files: [resume, cv, coverletter]
        include:
          - repo: JoseRodrigues443/JoseRodrigues443
            dir: ''
          - repo: JoseRodrigues443/joserodrigues443.github.io
            dir: static/files

In it's current state you could add the action multiple times if you have a lot of files in different places. If all the files are in the same dir, could copy the entire directory. You could also setup an action before it to collect all the files to copy so it only does one copy, but you'd have to sort them out in the destination repo somehow.

The main problem is how to collect all the different file paths. Deciding on a way that doesn't break backwards compatibility needs to be done.

I'm trying to use this action in my project. but i also need to push all files in one directory.
I think this is also a good idea. Thanks for sharing.
And I just want to add more conditions a little. like i want to create one PR in another repo for all file or just changed files only.

Is there a possible way?
