# github-action-push-to-another-repository # GitHub Action: Push to Another Repository (Fixed Fork)
> [!WARNING] ## Why This Fork Exists
> TL;DR: this repository is not maintained for any new development. I plan to
> fix issues if they arise due to changes on GitHub, to minimise disruption of
> existing usage.
>
> My circumstances changed since I started the GitHub Action in 2020. I am not
> able to add functionality to it or fix issues.
>
> The action is 175 lines of shell script. Feel free to fork it and modify it
> for your own use case.
>
> If you create a fork that might replace this one, I will add a note in the
> documentation and the README.md. Please, open an issue and I will do it.
See the extensive documentation in https://cpina.github.io/push-to-another-repository-docs/ (includes examples, FAQ, troubleshooting, etc.). This is a fork of [cpina/github-action-push-to-another-repository](https://github.com/cpina/github-action-push-to-another-repository) created to fix a critical OpenSSL version mismatch issue that was causing deployment failures.
GitHub repository of the documentation: https://github.com/cpina/push-to-another-repository-docs ## What Was Changed
### OpenSSL Version Mismatch Fix
**Problem**: The original action was failing with the error:
```
OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 3050003f, you have 30500010
```
**Root Cause**: The Alpine Linux base image was using inconsistent OpenSSL versions between the container's SSH client and the system's OpenSSL library.
**Solution**: Updated the Dockerfile to:
1. Pin Alpine to version 3.20 for consistency
2. Explicitly install the `openssl` package alongside other dependencies
3. Update package index before installation
### Changes Made
**Before**:
```dockerfile
FROM alpine:latest
RUN apk add --no-cache git git-lfs openssh-client
```
**After**:
```dockerfile
FROM alpine:3.20
RUN apk update && apk add --no-cache git git-lfs openssh-client openssl
```
## Usage
Use this fork in your GitHub Actions workflows:
```yaml
- name: Push to another repository
uses: Play-Perfect/github-action-push-to-another-repository@main
with:
source-directory: 'output'
destination-github-username: 'your-username'
destination-repository-name: 'your-repo'
user-email: your-email@example.com
target-branch: main
env:
SSH_DEPLOY_KEY: ${{ secrets.SSH_DEPLOY_KEY }}
```
## Documentation
For complete usage documentation, examples, and troubleshooting, refer to the original documentation:
https://cpina.github.io/push-to-another-repository-docs/
## Compatibility
This fork maintains full compatibility with the original action's API and parameters. It's a drop-in replacement that simply fixes the OpenSSL version mismatch issue.
