GitHub Actions toolkit for Go!\n\n\u003e [!WARNING]\n\u003e **actions is in early development and is not yet ready for use**\n\n![caution](./img/caution.png)\n\n## Project Description\n\nIf you want to write non-trivial GitHub Actions you really only have 2 choices:\n\n- Use NodeJS and [actions/toolkit]\n- Use Docker and your language of choice\n\nThe latter option suffers because you likely have to implement *a lot* of stuff yourself to do things like:\n\n- Retrieve action inputs and handle them\n- Write to `$GITHUB_OUTPUT` and/or `$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY`\n- Writing [Workflow Commands] to provide feedback in the logs\n- Platform independent filepath manipulations\n- Executing external commands\n- Responding to `${{ runner.debug }}` for writing debug logs\n- Source file annotations\n- Grouping logs\n- And more...\n\nAnd the former means you have to write Javascript... 👀\n\n### Go and GitHub Actions\n\nI put it to you that Go could be an *excellent* language for writing GitHub actions:\n\n- It's fast and memory efficient (saving 💵 on private GitHub runner costs)\n- Excellent support for concurrency and asynchronous execution\n- A powerful, batteries included standard library with more or less everything an action author needs out of the box\n- It plays excellently with Docker, leading to tiny, very efficient images\n- It's simple and safe\n- General purpose enough to be able to everything an action might want to do\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e You don't even need Docker! You could just `GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build \u003cyour action\u003e` and fetch the binary\n\u003e (e.g. from a GitHub release) inside a [composite action] and pass the inputs as command line arguments/flags!\n\nThe only thing missing is a toolkit providing sensible, common functionality for GitHub Action authors... That's where `actions` comes in!\n\n## Installation\n\n```shell\ngo get go.followtheprocess.codes/actions@latest\n```\n\n## Quickstart\n\n### Credits\n\nThis package was created with [copier] and the [FollowTheProcess/go_copier] project template.\n\n[copier]: https://copier.readthedocs.io/en/stable/\n[FollowTheProcess/go_copier]: https://github.com/FollowTheProcess/go_copier\n[actions/toolkit]: https://github.com/actions/toolkit\n[Workflow Commands]: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-what-your-workflow-does/workflow-commands-for-github-actions\n[composite action]: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/sharing-automations/creating-actions/creating-a-composite-action\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffollowtheprocess%2Factions","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffollowtheprocess%2Factions","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffollowtheprocess%2Factions/lists"}
