  • How to Terraform with Comments (And You Can DIY!*)
    3 projects | dev.to | 22 May 2023
    I wrote a custom script to parse PR comments as input commands to interface with Terraform CLI, returning the output as bot comments. Each step of the workflow relies on GitHub Actions, including actions/github-script to interact with GitHub's API (while brushing up on my JavaScript!).

    Nice idea, worth mentioning other features:

    * Reusable workflows (note: matrix strategy doesn't work here): https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/reusing-w...

    * Composite actions: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/creating...

    * Script as action: https://github.com/actions/github-script

    * Using GitHub Packages and artifacts: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/publishing-packages/about...

    * Using docker-compose-like services that run alongside of the container: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-containerized-servi...

    And many, many more :)

  • Paste of screenshots on GitHub isn't working with Chrome
    1 project | /r/xfce | 8 Sep 2021
    GitHub support hasn't been helpful so far. If you use Chrome on Linux, type xfce4-screenshooter or flameshot and grab a screenshot. Then navigate to any issue or PR, for example, https://github.com/actions/github-script/issues/187 and in the comment box at the bottom, type Ctrl-V. Either you'll see your image get uploaded or you won't. You don't need to save nor submit the comment.
  • Build GitHub Actions with a Docker Container
    2 projects | dev.to | 16 Feb 2021
    Note at the end of the bash, and we are leveraging a curl command to talk directly to the GitHub API. This curl command is meant for simplicity. All of this could have been done using the octokit.rest.js library or better github-script.
  • Automate your PR reviews with GitHub Action scripting in JavaScript
    3 projects | dev.to | 14 Feb 2021
    In this post, I am going to focus on the API and actions/github-script. This action makes it easy to quickly write a script in your workflow that uses the GitHub API and includes the workflow run context.
  • My First Github Workflow
    3 projects | dev.to | 6 Sep 2020
    My new github action follows a simple workflow: Whenever a user opens a pull request to the repository with the configured workflow, a comment is made on the PR with a greeting to the user and another comment with the statistics about the repository and PR are posted. Used the github-scripts (https://github.com/actions/github-script) action to get the API and context to write my own script in the workflow. It was a very fun exercise for me. Thankyou Dev Team for this cool contest!
