GitHubActions is an experimental lib to write workflow yml files in Elixir. The lib comes with a default workflow script.
To give it a try you can run
$> mix archive.install hex git_hub_actions
$> mix gha
* creating .github/workflows/ci.yml
in your project. The mix task creates a yml file like this.
GitHubActions and the default workflow script reads the MixProject of your project and generates a job running on ubuntu-latest. If the project contains credo and/or dialyzer, the steps “Lint code” and “Static code analysis” will be added. It will also create a strategy: matrix: according to the config of your project.
As mentioned above, this lib is experimental and was for now just test with my little projects.

Awesome library! Thanks for sharing. There’s a lot of takeaways from your CI YAML.
Do you think if it will be a good idea to organize the steps into a parallel?
Marcus
Thanks.
For now, I have not planed to run steps in parallel. I don’t think the benefit would be that great. But maybe I will give it a try.
