Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How to debug GitHub actions. Real-world example
As an example, we will run a simple GitHub action on our front-end project. GitHub action will be the bare minimum and will execute some open-source visual regression tests on a single webpage.

Open-source visual regression testing with Vue & Histoire
Hey, r/vuejs! Over the weekend, I found out about Histoire existence and that the Vue community loves the tool. I am building a visual regression testing framework(some see it as an addition to E2E tests, and some use visual tests as smoke tests because of the ease of use), and I decided to add the first-class support of Histoire to it.

Complete guide on Playwright visual regression testing
in this case you could start experimenting with cloud solutions as this setup that you explained looks far more in the direction of a well established business(where you could afford paying for external services). we built lost-pixel.com exactly for this purpose, we don't support multiple browser runs at this stage but we already do support breakpoints. it's usually about optimising the tools for the use case(or rather converging the use case to existing tools if it makes the life of engineers easier) and I think there is no unsolvable problem when it comes to testing :D

Storybook visual regression testing with Lost Pixel
- we have our engine open-sourced. You could use Lost Pixel for free outside of the Lost Pixel Platform(like loki.js)- we are not storybook tool per se(like chromatic). It allows you to compose your visual tests beyond storybook in single run- due to the nature of how we run the whole flow, we are cheaper than chromatic- chromatic is a great tool(before we wrote Lost Pixel we were using Chromatic in one my contracting gigs) but sometimes it lacks features, we want to make Lost Pixel a go to solution for visual testing, wether it be storybook, or custom testing or holistic testing.

Showoff Saturday: Lost Pixel Platform - visual regression testing for your Frontend
We have worked hard on the Lost Pixel Platform - the SaaS version of our tool. We are a small team of two working on it currently, but we already have awesome clients like prisma.io and adverity.com. I would be excited if you try it out and give us the feedback if you will have any!

Developers, how do you test that your pages look like how the figmas look like.
Maybe you could set up https://lost-pixel.com in custom mode; you would make a screenshot of Figma UI & then run it over Lost Pixel visual regression testing. Hit me up, I think I might help you to get it running! u/a-friendgineer

Visual regression testing with Turborepo, Next.js & Lost Pixel
Hey, r/nextjs! I am a big fan of monorepos, using Turborepo in almost all of my projects, I am also a big fan of visual tests :D Prepared this short tutorial on how to get Turborepo running with Lost Pixel(Disclaimer: I've created this tool, it's OSS, btw)

I've build Lost Pixel Platform - visual regression testing cloud for your Frontend
Hey! We got some love some time ago here on reddit when we launched https://github.com/lost-pixel/lost-pixel so we decided to validate our idea further and build a full fledged platform to manage your visual tests. https://lost-pixel.com - welcome Lost Pixel Platform! We already have large teams using it for quite a bit of time so we decided to go into Open Beta and open our work of almost 6 months to everybody! I would be super grateful for your feedback and of course I am here to answer all of your questions and just chat. We are free for Open Source projects so if you want to use our managed version for your public OSS project just drop me a message!

Create a Custom GitHub Action in Rust
To speed up your development cycle, install and use the act tool to test-run your action directly in your development environment. This tool lets you invoke a GitHub workflow right on your local machine and will save you the round-trips of pushing each change to GitHub to see if it works.

How to debug GitHub actions. Real-world example
When it comes to the alternatives to tmate, there is another great debugging tool that you could check out. It is called act and it allows you to run GitHub Actions code on your local machine making debugging even easier. It has its own limitations and some learning curve but overall it is another tool you should use if you can’t fix the CI bugs by connecting directly into the running action with the tmate.

Show HN: Open-source x64 and Arm GitHub runners. Reduces GitHub Actions bill 10x
Could you upload your build of GitHub's runner image to Docker Hub?
This would be quite useful for users of other GitHub Actions clones like act [0].

Git commit messages are useless
> These kinds of commit messages are typically an indicator of a broken process where somebody needs to commit to see something happen, like a deployment or build process, and aren't able to assert that stuff works locally.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves with services like github actions. Something running locally like "act" [1] isn't sufficient because it doesn't have everything github has and is extra friction anyway to get everyone to use it for testing.

What’s with DevOps engineers using `make` of all things?
If you use Github actions, act is incredibly useful. It can be used to test your GH actions, but also serves as an interface for running tasks locally.

Streamlining CI/CD Pipelines with Code: A Developer's Guide
That's something that often is difficult or basically impossible. Except for maybe GitHub actions through Act (https://github.com/nektos/act). I'd still lean to something in the yaml sphere if it eventually would be used in deployment pipelines and such. For example a solution incorporating ansible.
It also seems to me that the argument you make is mostly focused on the building step? Earthly certainly seems focused on that aspect.

GitHub Actions Are a Problem
I feel I'm being trolled, but I'll bite and accept the resulting downvotes
I don't think treating every mention of act as an opportunity for airing of personal grievances is helpful in a discussion when there's already ample reports of people's concrete issues with it, had one looked at the 800 issues in its repo https://github.com/nektos/act/issues?q=is%3Aissue or the 239 from gitea's for https://gitea.com/gitea/act_runner/issues or whatever is going on with Forgejo's fork https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act .
But, as for me specifically, there are two and a half answers: I wanted to run VSCodium's build locally, which act for sure puked about. Then, while trying to troubleshoot that, I thought I'd try something simpler and have it run the lint job from act's own repo <https://github.com/nektos/act/blob/1252e551b8672b1e16dc8835d...> to rule out "you're holding it wrong" type junk. It died with
[checks/lint] Failure - Main actions/setup-go@v3

> GitHub Actions currently charges $0.16 per minute* for the macOS M1 Runners. That comes out to $84,096 for 1 machine year*
GitHub Runner is written in Go; it fetches tasks from GitHub Actions and posts the results back to the Pull Request that spawned the build.
nektos/act is how Gitea Actions builds GitHub Actions workflow YAML build definition documents. https://github.com/nektos/act

> This is the macOS Ventura installer running in 30 VMs, in 30 #nix derivations at once. It gets the installer from Apple, automates the installation using Tesseract OCR and TCL Expect scripts. This is to test the repeatability. A single function call `makeDarwinImage`.
With a Multi-Stage Dockerfile/Containerfild, you can have a dev environment like xcode or gcc+make in the first stage that builds the package, and then the second stage the package is installed and tested, and then the package is signed and published to a package repo / app store / OCI container image repository.
SLSA now specifies builders for signing things correctly in CI builds with keys in RAM on the build workers.
