Actions

The most common Trunk Actions are provided out of the box with trunk, and are triggered to invisibly autoformat (trunk fmt) your commits every time you git commit, and run trunk check when you git push.

Triggers

There are several different types of Trunk Actions, based on when they are triggered:

Trigger	Description
time-based	run on a schedule (once per hour, once per day, once per week)
file modification	run whenever a file or directory in your repo changes.
githooks	run whenever a listed githook event fires (e.g. pre-commit, on-push)
manual	trunk run <action-name>

Command line

trunk actions <command>	Description
list	list all available actions in the repository
history <action-name>	print the history for execution of the provided action
enable <action-name>	enable the provided action
disable <action-name>	disable the provided action
run <action-name>	manually trigger the provided action alias: trunk run <action-name>

Discovering actions

The trunk plugins repo ships with a collection of actions that can help supercharge your repository and provide examples of how to write your own actions. To see a list of actions that you can enable in your repo run:

Enable/Disable actions

Trunk only runs actions listed in the enabled section of your trunk.yaml. Some built-in actions are enabled by default and can be disabled explicitly by adding them to the disabled list. You can always run trunk actions list to check the enabled status of an action.
