GH Actions and Workflows Advisor-tool for GitHub workflow automation.

Example

Creating a custom Docker-based action that performs static code analysis using a specific tool not available in public marketplaces.

Scenario

A security-focused development team needs to integrate a proprietary static analysis tool into their CI/CD pipeline. GH Actions and Workflows Advisor would provide guidance on creating a custom action using Docker, ensuring the tool is seamlessly integrated into their workflow, running checks on every pull request.

Example

Creating a reusable workflow for deploying applications to multiple environments such as staging, QA, and production.

Scenario

A DevOps team managing multiple applications across different environments requires a consistent deployment strategy. GH Actions and Workflows Advisor would assist in developing reusable workflows that can be referenced in various repositories, ensuring each application follows the same deployment process, reducing redundancy and errors.

Example

Setting up conditional jobs that only run tests if specific files in a repository are modified.

Scenario

In a large monorepo with different parts of the application, it’s inefficient to run all tests for every commit. GH Actions and Workflows Advisor helps configure conditional job executions, so only the necessary tests run based on the modified files, saving time and resources.
