SO COOL.
I can't wait to see all the creativity that comes from this... A big ecosystem will be built and GitHub is just really awesome pipes. Devs should focus on what matters, not how that work happens.
Lovely potential.
Pros:Single version of truth (ie GitHub) plus version control and history, now that GitHub can automatically update off-site dependencies
Cons:Limited number of actions at launch
So good y'all, been having tons of (useful!) fun with this.
Any ideas on when the general populous might be able to access them?
could someone compare this to gitlab. I understand that gitlab is years ahead in this area but anyway.
This strikes me as the freelancer’s dream.
I, personally, would not use this for continuous integration, as hinted at, but it would make for an excellent alert automation/maintenance scheduling tool.
Look a lot like GitLab pipelines and jobs. Great to hear that GitHub is finally doing the same - with its reach we will get wider adoption of CI/CD practices based on git workflow.
This sentence from the docs looks interesting: "You can write your own actions or customize your project with open-source actions shared in public repositories on GitHub. Explore public actions created by other developers in the visual workflow editor sidebar."
