GitHub Action

You can use GitHub actions to validate your repository with HACS. This will make sure that your repository can be validated in HACS after changes to your repository or HACS itself.

This action uses the exact same code as HACS to validate a repository.

The action have 3 run types:

• For the hacs/default repo it is used to validate new default repositories.
• If you have it set up for PR's in your repository, it will run against the fork/branch that made the PR.
• If you have it set up for pushes, if will run against the branch you push to.

The action itself lives here and you are free to inspect the code and/or make a PR to add changes.

To install it, follow these steps:

1. Go to your repository on GitHub
2. Click on "Create new file"
3. For filename, paste .github/workflows/validate.yaml
4. Paste the following contents:
5. Change the value of "CATEGORY" key, this needs to be one of: "appdaemon", "integration", "netdaemon", "plugin", "python_script", "theme"
