24 alternatives to Publish from GitHub Actions using multi-factor authentication
The backstory about this GitHub Action: I discussed with an open-source maintainer why they publish npm packages from their local machine and do not use CI/CD pipelines. They said publishing should require human intervention and want to continue using multi-factor authentication to publish to the npm registry. This led to building the wait-for-secrets GitHub Action. It prints a URL in the build log and waits for secrets to be entered using a browser. Once entered, the workflow continues, and secrets can be used in future steps. The latest release of "eslint-plugin-react" to the npm…
This GitHub Action enables secure npm package publishing from CI/CD pipelines while requiring human verification. It prints a URL in the build log where developers can enter secrets and multi-factor authentication… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Prices are shown for the 1 we have checked on their own sites, 1 of them free or with a free tier. Publish from GitHub Actions using multi-factor authentication launched in 2022; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Greetings! I've created a GitHub action that works that allows GitHub Actions to exchange a GitHub token for AWS Access Credentials. I've cultivated a few examples of it in action: https://github.com/saml-to/aws-assume-role-action-examples I've always found management of AWS Credentials has been a pain. So this setting up this Action works like this: 1) A SAML Identity Provider is created in AWS 2) A Role in AWS is set up to trust that Identity Provider 3) A config file is added to the repository indicating which role can be assumed 4) The GitHub Action exchanges the Repo…

GitHired▲360Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

I've created a GitHub Action for running commands on multiple platforms. This includes platforms that GitHub Actions don't natively support. It currently supports FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. OpenBSD can run on x86-64 and ARM64, the other operating systems run on x86-64. Some of the features that are supported include: * Multiple operating system with one single action * Multiple versions of each operating system * Allows to use default shell or Bash shell * Low boot overhead * Fast execution * Runs on both macOS and Linux runners Compared to similar solutions like…

Hey HN! I'm Jacob, one of the founders of Depot (https://depot.dev), a build service for Docker images, and I'm excited to show what we’ve been working on for the past few months: run GitHub Actions jobs in AWS, orchestrated by Depot! Here's a video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX5Z-k1mGc8, and here’s our blog post: https://depot.dev/blog/depot-github-actions-runners. While GitHub Actions is one of the most prevalent CI providers, Actions is slow, for a few reasons: GitHub uses underpowered CPUs, network throughput for cache and the…

This past quarter has been awash with sophisticated npm supply chain attacks like [Shai-Hulud](https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2025/09/23/widesprea...() and the [Chalk/debug Compromise](https://www.wiz.io/blog/widespread-npm-supply-chain-attack-b...). This CLI helps protect users from recently compromised packages by only downloading packages that have been public for a while (default is 90 days or older). Install: npm install -g @dendronhq/safe-npm Usage: safe-npm install react@^18 lodash How it works: - Queries…

I built this as a small side project to learn and experiment, and I ended up with this! I used a subdomain from my personal portfolio, and everything else runs on free tiers. The project uses Nuxt, SVG, Cloudflare Workers, D1 (SQL), KV, Terraform, and some agentic coding with OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. What started as a joke among friends turned into a fun excuse to build something end to end, from zero to production, and to explore a few things I’d never touched before. I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Hey HN, I just released github-actions-workflow-ts, an NPM package that allows you to write GitHub Actions workflows in Typescript rather than YAML. The package then generates GH Actions workflow YAML files from your Typescript code. Why? - Type safety - Code re-usability: package and reuse common jobs and steps across different workflows. - Imperative edge: Utilize control flow to control the generation of different kinds of workflows easily. Essentially, I realized that as I write larger and more complicated GH Actions workflows in YAML, they become less readable and thus more prone to…

I kept failing at building in public for the same reason every time: not fear of judgment, just the blank page after a long day of shipping. Something always happened. But converting "refactored auth flow" or "fixed that edge case that's been annoying me for a week" into something worth posting felt like a second job on top of the actual job. So I'd skip it. Then skip it again. Then stop entirely. The approach: connect your GitHub, it pulls recent commits and repo activity, and generates draft posts for multiple platforms in your tone — raw founder voice, not content creator polish. The idea…

Hey HN, it's Farrukh and Umar. We're building listen.dev–a tool for proactive security monitoring in GitHub Actions to secure software releases from supply chain threats. Why we built this: As friends and collaborators for over a decade, we've been working on various startup ideas in dev tools and infrastructure. In 2017, while building an ML ops toolkit on Kubernetes, we got hacked. During a pilot with a fintech customer, our cluster became victim to a crypto-jacking attack. As it turned out, a dependency in our container base image contained malware (a Monero miner) which triggered inside…

I tend to create a private certificate authority for every side project, in order to create TLS certs for local development. I find it useful to have local development closely resemble production when at all possible, and "real" certificates are an important element. Anyway I got tired of having these CA private keys on my local machine, especially as I started thinking about setting up a private CA for my company (https://riza.io). So I started thinking about what the simplest way to host a private CA might be. You really only need two things: 1) secret storage, to hold the CA's…
