  • How to commit part of file in Git

    I also set up recently the policy to onl use merge commits on stable branch, as otherwise the path filter^1 in the workflows would not detect correctly which files changed in a PR.

  • GitHub Actions as a time-sharing supercomputer

    I truly don't understand why this isn't more widely discussed (I've seen several "GH Actions Gotchas" where this isn't mentioned). Many of the community actions also seem to be designed to run as short jobs to paper around missing features (for ex: https://github.com/dorny/paths-filter ), that end up eating up an enormous amount of your minutes budget.
  • Deploy Lambda only when there are code changes

    If that isn’t sufficient, there are a number of third party workflow steps that enable conditional builds with extra flexibility like https://github.com/dorny/paths-filter

    You can use paths-filter to give yourself a bunch of conditional outputs to test against for separate jobs.
  • Turborepo + GitHub Actions

    That's brilliant. dorny/paths-filter looks like it can eliminate my enumerate job, and then I don't have to concern myself with all this data passing between jobs.
  • GitHub Actions Pitfalls
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Sep 2022
    There’s an awkward gotcha/incompatibility between “Required status checks” and workflows that get skipped [1], eg due to setting a “paths” property of a push/pull_request workflow trigger [2].

    The checks associated with the workflow don’t run and stay in a pending state, preventing the PR from being merged.

    The only workaround I’m aware of is to use an action such as paths-filter [3] instead at the job level.

    A further, related frustration/limitation - you can _only_ set the “paths” property [2] at the workflow level (i.e. not per-job), so those rules apply to all jobs in the workflow. Given that you can only build a DAG of jobs (ie “needs”) within a single workflow, it makes it quite difficult to do anything non trivial in a monorepo.

  • Configuring python linting to be part of CI/CD using GitHub actions
    4 projects | dev.to | 14 Sep 2022
    We are interested in running a linter only against the modified files. Let's say, we take a look at the provided repo, if I update dags/dummy.py I don't want to waste time and resources running the linter against main.py. For this purpose we use Paths Filter GitHub Action, which is very flexible.
  • Introducing Gistblog 🎉: Blog your little ❤️ out using GitHub Gists
    4 projects | dev.to | 6 Dec 2021
    In the spirit of the #ActionsHackathon21, you can see I'm taking advantage of the checkout action GitHub provides and the Paths Filter action by dorny to create the desired workflow. I'm also using the Gistblog Action I created for this hackathon which handles managing all the blog posts as Gists. I'd like to explore Composite actions soon to see if I can reduce all of this to a single action making setup even easier.
