Does this include all branches / history? about s3-backup HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey @peter-evans + @adrianpaiva1 I think what you need is fetch-depth: 0:

From the actions/checkout docs

Number of commits to fetch. 0 indicates all history for all branches and tags.
Default: 1
fetch-depth: ''

Additionally, specifically, this section: https://github.com/actions/checkout#fetch-all-history-for-all-tags-and-branches

Try this out:

jobs:
  repository-backup:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: peter-evans/s3-backup@v1
        env:
          ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
          MIRROR_TARGET: ${{ secrets.MIRROR_TARGET }}
          SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
        with:
          args: --overwrite --remove

Hi @adrianpaiva1

It just copies whatever files are available locally. If you want the entire git history then you need to make sure that is available locally when the action runs.

If you are using the checkout action it will only checkout one branch. So you probably won't have everything you need locally.

- uses: actions/checkout@v2

I'm not 100% sure how to make sure the .git folder contains all the information it needs to recover completely, but you would definitely need to checkout all the branches with full commit history, and all the tags. If you figure out the git commands to get a completely recoverable local copy, please let me know.
