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.
Linux Mint with Cinnamon: https://www.linuxmint.com/ as far as desktop OSes go it's familiar (Ubuntu without snaps by default), whereas the UI feels both snappy, doesn't use too much resources and is actually pretty to look at.
MobaXTerm: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ this one is a bit more Windows centric but I ended up paying for it and replaced mRemoteNg and PuTTY with it, it's even better than Remmina or whatever Linux has to offer - you can manage SSH/RDP/VNC/... sessions, input across multiple sessions side by side and it just simplifies things a lot (jump host support, a port forwarding too and so much more).
GitKraken: https://www.gitkraken.com/ also a piece of software that I paid for, this one actually makes using Git pleasant, feels better to use than SourceTree and Git Cola (even though that latter is wonderfully lightweight, too) and honestly I prefer that to the CLI nowadays.
Kanboard: https://kanboard.org/ is a lightweight Kanban project management tool, it might not have every feature under the sun but it's the most snappy project management tool I've ever used, looks simple and runs well. I honestly love it, what a nice thing to have.
Most modern text editors and IDEs: I personally pay for JetBrains IDEs but also like Visual Studio Code as a text editor and both have helped me immensely, they're reasonably performant when you have the RAM, look nice, often give you suggestions about how to improve your code and also have a plethora of plugins in their ecosystems. Nowadays I unapologetically use LLMs as well and overall it feels like I have these great tools and cool autocomplete (that is sometimes a bit silly and wrong) at my disposal, that makes me happy.
Kdenlive: https://kdenlive.org/ imagine if there was a successor to Windows Movie Maker, though something that gets most of the important stuff out of Sony Vegas, except is also completely free and works on most platforms. Kdenlive is all of that and also somehow quite pleasant to use, I actually prefer it to DaVinci resolve. There is a bit of a learning curve to any piece of software like this, but everything mostly makes sense in this one.
Gitea: https://about.gitea.com/ I still use this for my personal Git repositories and integrating with CI systems and it's lightweight, looks good and just feels pleasant to use. Previously I self-hosted GitLab and constantly ran into resource exhaustion as well as doubts about the next update is going to corrupt all of my data and break (it did), so now I use Gitea instead.
Drone CI: https://www.drone.io/ a container native CI solution that I can also self host. It's container oriented, integrates with Gitea nicely, is similarly nice to GitLab CI and doesn't cause me headaches like Jenkins would.
Docker: https://www.docker.com/ yes, even Docker desktop. It just makes working with containers really pleasant and predictable, even when something like Podman also exists (and also is great). I don't know, I feel like Docker really saved me from having brittle legacy environments, even self-contained containers with health checks and resource limits with still the same brittle code inside of those make me feel way more safe.

I also got my eyes on GoReleaser, which I will use in my (Go) projects.
Project mention: Category Cleanup: 4 Ways Your Discussions Categories Can Be Better Optimized | dev.to | 2024-01-30Check out how to create your own or feel free to borrow from Community Discussions’ templates.
Make sure to not accept any Pull Request with commented ESLint errors to ensure a continuous improvement of your codebase quality. Some tools can help you to automate this part of the review, such as Danger JS.
This GitHub action will use another ssh-action action to handle the remote ssh connection. After storing the connection credentials in the GitHub repository secrets, this can securely/dynamically connect to the remote Ubuntu machine. The last key for this action job is the script, or verbatim Ubuntu commands that will be run. For the sake of brevity, I have only written pseudo-code for the deployment steps.
Project mention: Using Kaniko to Build and Publish container image with Github action on Github Self-hosted Runners | dev.to | 2024-02-28To set-up the self-hosted runner, an Action Runner Controller (ARC) and Runner scale sets application will be installed via helm. This post will be using Azure Kubernetes Service and ARC that is officialy maintained by Github. There is another ARC that is maintained by the community. You can follow the discussion where github adopted the ARC project into a full Github product here
Project mention: Setting up a free & production-ready web app backend in Go (with database) in less than 100 lines | dev.to | 2023-09-06The interesting part is towards the bottom where we build the frontend code and make use of the github-pages-deploy-action step to automatically make a new commit with the compiled frontend code to a gh-pages branch.
We use the docker/build-push-action to build the application image. In addition to setting the correct tag, the image build step must also provide a label matching your service name. Because the image should be pushed to your container registry, we set push: true, and because we want ludicrous build speed we instruct the build step to utilize the GitHub Actions cache.
Project mention: Hacktoberfest Machine Learning Projects for JS/TS Developers 🎃 | dev.to | 2023-10-20Continuous Machine Learning (CML) is an open-source command-line interface tool designed to enhance continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) workflows, with a focus on Machine Learning Operations (MLOps). The tool facilitates automated development workflows, including machine provisioning, model training and evaluation, comparing machine learning experiments across your project’s history, and monitoring changing datasets.
Also sometimes it eats darker spots before all the lighter are gone. Not sure if this is something permitted by the solving algorithm description [1]
Anyway, fun experiment.

While those actions are indeeded archived, they do recommend some other community actions to use. I have used https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release and it works well. That said, you need to do your own due diligence on how comfortable you are using community actions.
As GitHub Actions is a community-driven platform, we can utilize various open-source workflows available. In this case, we will use the popular "FTP-Deploy" Actions workflow developed by Sam Kirkland. In the main.yml file, include the following code:
Now, we will create a new action for your repository. There is an awesome action template that can be used directly. This action will fetch the blogs from your Medium profile and put that on your GitHub profile page.
I have done similar work using the GitHub APIs before. I recommend using their GraphQL explorer to develop your queries interactively. You may need to fall back on the REST API instead of the GraphQL one for certain stats.
https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/overview/explorer
You can also refer to my code here, which may already collect some of the statistics you're interested in.
https://github.com/jstrieb/github-stats/blob/master/github_s...
I predict the most annoying part of this project will be dealing with authentication. There are a handful of ways to do it, and the permissions can be finicky depending on what data you are fetching.
Best of luck!
Project mention: Ask HN: Should we build support for more CI platforms, or features for Actions? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-03Currently, Github Actions is de-facto the only fully supported CI platform in Digger, we’ve been building it as a CI-agnostic tool (https://github.com/diggerhq/digger) from get go. We keep getting requests to support more CI systems on our community slack and over Github issues (https://github.com/diggerhq/digger/issues/81).
Unlike other automation tools for Terraform, Digger doesn’t run jobs on the server; instead it uses your CI (like Actions) as a compute backend. This is more secure and also much cheaper if you use your own runners in your CI.
But each CI and each VCS is ever so slightly different; and we are now at a crossroads - Should we build support for more CI platforms, or more features for GitHub Actions? We’d love any thoughts/inputs!
The go-to method of debugging GitHub Actions is tmate. With tmate we can connect to our running Action terminal and see what is going on there by executing some simple commands!
