Steps to add a Bump GitHub Action
Generate your API documentation & changelog
Bump is a Continuous Documentation Platform: it lets you keep your API doc always synchronized with your codebase. With this Github Action you can automatically generate your API reference (with changelog and diff) on Bump from any OpenAPI or AsyncAPI file.
Usage
Start by creating a documentation on Bump. Then add one of the following workflow file to your GitHub project.
In all the examples below, make sure to change the branch name mainwith the name of your repository main destination branch, replace <BUMP_DOC_ID> with your Bump documentation slug or id and change the filepathdoc/api-documentation.ymlwith your api specification file path.
​actions/checkout has to be called before our action.
Deploy on git push
If you only need to deploy the documentation on push you can use this workflow file:
.github/workflows/bump-deploy.yml
1
name: Deploy documentation

  push:

    name: Deploy API doc on Bump

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
13
      - name: Checkout

        uses: actions/[email protected]
15
      - name: Deploy API documentation
16
        uses: bump-sh/github-[email protected]
17
        with:
18
          doc: <BUMP_DOC_ID>
19
          token: ${{secrets.BUMP_TOKEN}}

          file: doc/api-documentation.yml

API diff on pull requests
If you only want to have API diff summary sent as a comment on your pull requests:
.github/workflows/bump-diff.yml

name: API diff

API diff on pull requests & Deploy on push
This is the most common workflow that we recommend, which will create two steps in your automation flow: a validation & diff step on code reviews, followed by a deployment step on merged changes.

name: Check & deploy API documentation
