Write a file to a workspace

This task can be used to write a file onto the output workspace. Use parameter expansion to insert variable content into the written file. It can also set specific permissions on the file.

Install the Task

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tektoncd/catalog/main/task/write-file/0.1/write-file.yaml

Parameters

• path: Relative path to create within the workspace. Directories will be created as necessary.
• mode: chmod-style mode string to apply to the file. Note that mode will not be applied to created directories.
• contents: Contents of the file to create. Note that octal numbers need quoting in YAML.
