Saml.to: I've Turned GitHub into a SAML Identity Provider

Assume AWS roles from the command line, GitHub Actions and Codespaces.

Saml.to: I've Turned GitHub into a SAML Identity Provider launched on January 5, 2022 with 23 votes, #951 of 2,891 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

In plain words

Saml.to turns GitHub into a SAML identity provider, allowing developers to use GitHub credentials for single sign-on authentication in applications. The tool is designed for development teams and organizations that want to leverage existing GitHub accounts for access management without setting up a separate identity system. It bridges GitHub's authentication capabilities with SAML-based enterprise applications, simplifying identity and access control for developers.

    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…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage. I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the…
