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…

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…

Hi HN! I’ve been running GitHub Actions workflows for a while, and when GitHub announced the new ubuntu-slim runners as a cheaper alternative to ubuntu-latest, I wanted to migrate—but figuring out which workflows are safe to switch turned out to be surprisingly tedious. You need to check for Docker usage, services, containers, step failures due to missing packages, and whether jobs rely on tools not available in the slim image. So I built gh-slimify, a GitHub CLI extension that automates all of this. It scans your repository, detects which jobs can be migrated, flags incompatible patterns,…

Hi all! I wanted to share a small project that I've been working on with a buddy. https://www.actionspanel.app/ One of the problems that currently exists with GitHub Actions is the fact that there is no way to easily trigger your Actions unless you cause some kind of GitHub event. This could be pushing a new commit, or creating an issue on a repository. But if you just want to run an arbitrary action, there's not currently a good way to do that. This is a well known feature request: https://github.community/t5/GitHub-Actions/GitHub-Actions-Ma... GitHub…

Hey HN, BuildJet makes GitHub Actions faster, by running the workflows on our Gaming CPU cloud. You still get to keep everything GitHub Actions, we simply replace the underlying GitHub Actions runner with our Gaming CPUs. All you do is change 1 line, and get 2x faster and cheaper builds. GitHub Action is very slow - Developers are wasting their time – Waiting for GitHub Actions to give you a green checkbox on PR, is very wasteful and extremely tedious. - GitHub Actions runner hardware is old and slow – GitHub Actions use old and slow machines from Azure. Some of your workflows run on servers…

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…
