[](https://github.com/codecov/codecov-action/actions/workflows/main.yml)
To integrate Codecov with your Actions pipeline, specify the name of this repository with a tag number (`@v1` is recommended) as a `step` within your `workflow.yml` file.
If you have a *private repository*, this Action also requires you to [provide an upload token](https://docs.codecov.io/docs/frequently-asked-questions#section-where-is-the-repository-upload-token-found-) from [codecov.io](https://www.codecov.io) (tip: in order to avoid exposing your token, store it as a `secret`). Optionally, you can choose to include up to four additional inputs to customize the upload context. **For public repositories, no token is needed**
>**Note**: This assumes that you've set your Codecov token inside *Settings > Secrets* as `CODECOV_TOKEN`. If not, you can [get an upload token](https://docs.codecov.io/docs/frequently-asked-questions#section-where-is-the-repository-upload-token-found-) for your specific repo on [codecov.io](https://www.codecov.io). Keep in mind that secrets are *not* available to forks of repositories.
Codecov's Action currently supports five inputs from the user: `token`, `file`, `flags`,`name`, and `fail_ci_if_error`. These inputs, along with their descriptions and usage contexts, are listed in the table below:
| `aws_curl_args` | Extra curl arguments to communicate with AWS. | Optional
| `codecov_curl_args` | Extra curl arguments to communicate with Codecov. e.g., -U "--proxy http://http-proxy" | Optional
| `commit_parent` | The commit SHA of the parent for which you are uploading coverage. If not present, the parent will be determined using the API of your repository provider. When using the repository provider's API, the parent is determined via finding the closest ancestor to the commit. | Optional
| `xcode_derived_data` | Custom Derived Data Path for Coverage.profdata and gcov processing | Optional
| `xcode_package` | Specify packages to build coverage. Uploader will only build these packages. This can significantly reduces time to build coverage reports. -J 'MyAppName' Will match "MyAppName" and "MyAppNameTests" -J '^ExampleApp$' Will match only "ExampleApp" not "ExampleAppTests" | Optional
