A GitHub Action that detects all added, copied, modified, deleted, renamed, and type-changed files and directories relative to a target branch, commit, or previous commit. It outputs relative paths so workflows can conditionally run jobs in CI pipelines, especially in monorepos.
Use cases
- run tests only when relevant files changed in a pull request
- detect changed files in a monorepo to trigger per-package builds
- get list of modified files on push events in a GitHub workflow
- conditionally deploy services based on which directories changed
- skip CI steps when only documentation files changed
- track renamed or deleted files between commits in a workflow
When to choose
- you need change detection inside GitHub Actions workflows
- you maintain a monorepo and want conditional job execution
- you need file change lists across pull_request, push, merge_group, or release events
When to avoid
- you need to detect uncommitted changes created during the workflow run (use tj-actions/verify-changed-files)
- you are not using GitHub Actions as your CI system
- you need change detection outside of git-based repositories
