When activated and configured, a check will be added to every PR making sure your CLA has been signed by all committers. If a committer has not signed your CLA, the check will fail.

After signing the CLA, contributors can comment "I've signed the CLA!" on the PR to re-run the test suite.

This is intended for Shopify repositories only.

Add the following workflow to your repository:

# .github/workflows/cla.yml
name: Contributor License Agreement (CLA)

on:
  pull_request_target:
    types: [opened, synchronize]
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]

jobs:
  cla:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      actions: write
      pull-requests: write
    if: |
      (github.event.issue.pull_request 
        && !github.event.issue.pull_request.merged_at
        && contains(github.event.comment.body, 'signed')
      ) 
      || (github.event.pull_request && !github.event.pull_request.merged)
    steps:
      - uses: Shopify/shopify-cla-action@v1
        with:
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          cla-token: ${{ secrets.CLA_TOKEN }}

The check:

• All PRs commit authors are checked against https://cla.shopify.com/
• If all GitHub usernames signed the CLA, the check will pass
• Otherwise the check will fail and the build message will ask first-time authors to sign the CLA

Comments:

• Every comment is tested against regexp
• If the test was successful, it will trigger re-run of previous failed check

Following comments will be ignored:

• Comment on issue
• Comment on merged PR
• Comment without word signed will be filtered by a workflow definition

Reactions:

• If comment is matched with regexp, action will add 👀 reaction to that comment
• If comment has 👀 reaction and CLA check succeeded, action will also add 👍 reaction
• If comment has 👀 reaction and CLA check failed, action will also add 👎 reaction

This action does not produce any comments.
