Hi everyone! 👋

Amazing to see so many ideas from the community.

Personally, I went for the Maintainers Must Haves category with workflows that use a recipe to help out maintainers triage and work with external contributions, see it here: dev.to/lirantal/the-maintainers-ci...

I learned quite a bunch of things about GitHub Actions myself, and definitely new workflows that I'm going to adopt for my own open source repositories.

Goodluck everyone and keep on posting your ideas 🚀

Building your workflow via code.

$yaml=\App\Objects\YamlObject::make()
        ->setName("My Test Name")
        ->setOnPushDefaultBranches()
        ->addMysqlService()
        ->addMatrixOsUbuntuLatest()
        ->toString();

Just posted my submission for #actionhackathon21

Its a collection of tweaked customized versions of existing workflows from the marketplace that I've been using in a BIG opensource repository with 6000+ contributors, 1k stars & 1.7k forks.
It makes moderation convenient, less chaotic & project management way more smooth...

"More power to the contributors, even more power to the maintainers"

Feel free to leave your feedback/reactions/suggestions to additional features there...
💖 Thanks 🤍

Hey all, I've been working on an action that automatically updates the Twitter header with my last published blog posts—and it finally works! 🥲🚀

Wrote about the action and workflow in this post 🙌

Gracie Gregory (she/her) • Dec 3 '21

SO awesome!

Cian Gallagher • Dec 4 '21

Hi all! I'm working on a GitHub action to bulk merge/approve GitHub pull requests (depending on a valid set of status checks) I'd love any and all feedback 😉

Bulk merge & Approve Github Pull Requests with the Gomerge github action!

What do you do with issues with dozens of comments? Close it or convert it to discussion?

I don't have an advice, but I've made an action to grab the most reacted comments in a long-winded issue, turn them into clickable elements, then insert them into the issue body.
