User Story

As a NIST OSCAL developer, in order to efficiently build updated reference model docs and website updates at the same time, I would like the CI/CD system to detect model update commits in the same workflow and git pull only under those conditions as to not fail the build.

Goals

• Determine risk of automatically git pulling on branches where the model workflow-generate-website-reference.yml workflow step successfully executes and adds commits that are not detected by workflow-generate-website.yml steps that have not pulled in current changes.
  • Document risk decision.
• Implement a check in CD workflow-generate-website.yml to git pull if workflow-generate-website-reference.yml did commit to the target main branch.

Dependencies
