Submission: Copybara Action

My Workflow

Copybara Action; runs https://github.com/google/copybara in GitHub Actions.

Copybara transforms and moves code between repositories.

Previously, you had to build and run Copybara manually on your machine. But I have automated this with GitHub Actions!

Currently, I use the action to sync a private repository with a public one (https://github.com/wilmol/coding-practice-java).
