Re-running workflows and jobs

In this article

You can re-run a workflow run up to 30 days after its initial run.

People with write permissions to a repository can re-run workflows in the repository.

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.

About re-running workflows and jobs

Re-running a workflow uses the same GITHUB_SHA (commit SHA) and GITHUB_REF (Git ref) of the original event that triggered the workflow run. You can re-run a workflow for up to 30 days after the initial run.

To re-run a failed workflow run, use the run rerun subcommand. Replace run-id with the ID of the failed run that you want to re-run. If you don't specify a run-id, GitHub CLI returns an interactive menu for you to choose a recent failed run.

To view the progress of the workflow run, use the run watch subcommand and select the run from the interactive list.
