@TobKed
Sorry, I don't understand English, what I said was translated by translation software, please forgive me if there is any problem with the sentence.
The problem I'm currently having is the following:

1. I don't know how to clone all branches of a repository, I can only clone a few branches at the same time.
2. After this update, I can't batch clone branches of different authors into the same repository.

If I encounter problems in the future, I will come back and submit again.

@GWen124 no probs, I am not a native English speaker as well :)

1. I don't know how to clone all branches of a repository, I can only clone a few branches at the same time.

What do you mean by cloning all branches? git clone command clones all branches however they are remote branches.
Did you mean clone as synchronising changes from one (upstream, source) repo to another (target) repo c
so they will be exact clones?

2. After this update, I can't batch clone branches of different authors into the same repository.

What do you meean by batch clone of different authors? Different authors suggests that there may be some conficts but I not sure what is the problem. Was it working before? Could you provide logs so I could try reproduce it?

The old version is okay. This is the picture I took last time, and it hasn't been uploaded.

It could be caused by mistake I did in #11 which I fixed and merged here: #14 .
Please rerun it and let me know how it went (since you use @master version latest fix should be used and you don't have to change anything in your workflow)

OK, thank you very much. I found the problem again later, and I'm coming to submit it.

Regarding the cloning of the entire warehouse branch, I don't know how to explain it. Let's take your warehouse as an example.

These are the three branches of your warehouse. How can I clone them at once?

[GWen124]

For example, the main branch of your warehouse is "master" and the other branch is "18.06". How can I clone it at one time? After all, some authors use branches to distinguish versions.

If you wnat to update muttiple branches you can use matrix to parametrize it. (docs).
I created example workflow of syncing all branches:

name: Sync all branches
on:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:

  generate-matrix:
    name: Generate matrix of branches
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      matrix: ${{ steps.set-matrix.outputs.matrix }}
    steps:
      - name: Set matrix of branches
        id: set-matrix
        run: |
          upstream_repo="https://${GITHUB_ACTOR}:${INPUT_GITHUB_TOKEN}@github.com/${INPUT_UPSTREAM_REPOSITORY}.git"
          upstream_dir=${INPUT_UPSTREAM_REPOSITORY##*/}
          
          git clone "${upstream_repo}"
          cd "${upstream_dir}"
          
          JSON="{\"branch\":["
          
          for branch in `git branch -a | grep remotes | grep -v HEAD`; do
              branch_trimmed=$(echo -e $branch | sed -e "s/remotes\/origin\///g")
              JSON="$JSON\"${branch_trimmed}\","
          done
          
          if [[ $JSON == *, ]]; then
            JSON="${JSON%?}"
          fi
          JSON="$JSON]}"
          
          echo $JSON | jq
        
          echo "::set-output name=matrix::$( echo "$JSON" )"

        env:

ok, thanks a lot

I added example to README in #16 and I am closing this issue for now.
