GitHub Actions Repository

This repository contains a collection of reusable GitHub Actions designed to automate various tasks. These actions can be integrated into your workflows to streamline processes related to Python, Node.js, and version control.

Available Actions

1. Detect Direct Push to Main

• Description: This action detects direct pushes to the main branch and checks whether the push is a pull request merge or a direct commit. It ensures that only pull request merges are allowed to main, preventing direct pushes.

2. Validate Version and Changelog Updates

• Description: This action ensures that the VERSION and CHANGELOG.md files are updated in pull requests. It checks if these files are modified when a pull request is opened or synchronized, enforcing best practices for versioning and changelog management.

3. Python Actions

These actions help with automating Python-related tasks such as linting, testing and dependency installation.

• Linting: Runs flake8 on Python code to enforce coding standards.
• Run Tests: Executes unit tests using pytest.
• Install Dependencies: Installs project dependencies from the requirements.txt file.

4. Node.js Actions

These actions help automate tasks related to Node.js projects, including dependency installation, testing, and building the app.

• Install Dependencies: Installs project dependencies using npm ci for faster, deterministic installations in CI environments.
• Run Tests: Executes tests using npm test.
• Build App: Builds the app by installing dependencies and running the build command.

Usage

To use any of these actions in your own workflows, reference them in your .github/workflows directory.

For example, to use the Detect Direct Push to Main action in your workflow:

name: Detect Direct Push to Main

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  detect-direct-push:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Detect Direct Push
        uses: your-org/your-repo/actions/version-control/detect-direct-push@main
