I need jump start on CI that pushes back to the git repo

[young trench]

I have actions in Go that checkout in full from the detached for CI (azure pipelines).
Now with dagger, I need to automate some stuff that can involve full checkout, formatted changelog, commit, push tag if not exists, etc.

Last I looked at this it was all "sandbox" and not clear to me how to do this.
Can someone give me a pointer if you've done CI that pushes back to the repo itself so I can build a function that would let me automate some of this across many of my repos?

Just a jump start. I won't be using shell, but just the Go SDK directly.

👋 do you need the Dagger pipeline to checkout the code or it's expected for the checkout code to already be present in the client's machine?

[young trench]

it would be running in CI.... so if i want i can do two things

• checkout based on the arg i pass in and do everything internally in dagger
• or mount (but i don't think there's a two way sync).... so essentially i can have the repo cloned already but i have to manipulate to fix the fact CI checks out as a detached commit.

You don't need two way sync though since you can read the directory from your host and export back what you need to push

Having said that, I'd say to go the Dagger checkout way as it's generally more performant

so in a nutshell @young trench I'd check out the code using the dag.Gitcall (don't forget to add the keepGitDir flag), make your changes and then run git commit && git push in an alpine container with git
