GitHub Actions Optimiser
Gather real-world usage context for GitHub Actions and recommend improvements to workflow files.
Process
Step 1: Search for How an Action Is Used
When a GitHub workflow in .github/workflows/ uses an action such as:
uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3
Search for real-world usage with the pre-installed gh CLI:
gh search code "setup-terraform path:.github/workflows"
Step 2: View Search Results with Context
Use the pattern /repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/{path} to look up at least five results in parallel. For example:
gh api repos/Sofiane-Truman/cloud-foundation-fabric/contents/.github/workflows/linting.yml | jq -r '.content' | base64 -d | less
Step 3: Check Authoritative Usage
Given the earlier example of hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3, the canonical source repository is https://github.com/hashicorp/setup-terraform. Study the README.md for official guidance.
Step 4: Plan Optimisations
Identify how the GitHub workflow can be improved. Prefer the latest version of actions and keep to defaults where possible. Find and explore novel yet succinct usages from the GitHub search results.
