Note: GitHub-hosted runners are not currently supported on GitHub Enterprise Server. You can see more information about planned future support on the GitHub public roadmap.
Configuring a workflow to run manually
To run a workflow manually, the workflow must be configured to run on the workflow_dispatch
event. To trigger the workflow_dispatch
event, your workflow must be in the default branch. For more information about configuring the workflow_dispatch
event, see "Events that trigger workflows".
Write access to the repository is required to perform these steps.
Running a workflow
-
On your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, navigate to the main page of the repository.
-
Under your repository name, click Actions.
-
In the left sidebar, click the workflow you want to run.
-
Above the list of workflow runs, select Run workflow.
-
Use the Branch dropdown to select the workflow's branch, and type the input parameters. Click Run workflow.
Running a workflow using the REST API
When using the REST API, you configure the inputs
and ref
as request body parameters. If the inputs are omitted, the default values defined in the workflow file are used.
Note: You can define up to 10 inputs
for a workflow_dispatch
event.
For more information about using the REST API, see the "Create a workflow dispatch event."
