I’ve spent the past week getting pretty into GitHub Actions, and I think overall it’s a really great automation framework with a dev focus. Find some links I gathered along the way on my linkblog.

The other feeling I got was overwhelm, and I’ve been building workflows for years. There are just so many workflows built, all doing something slightly different. Perhaps it’s because there isn’t much in the way of a visual UI, though as a developer I actually like the fact that it’s all text files stored in the repo.

I think maybe it’s a bit difficult to conceptualise and plan bigger workflows using the tools available.

Have you found it difficult to put together larger multi job/workflow workflows? What do you think would make it easier?
