За Бърза справка за GitHub Actions
Тази бърза справка за GitHub Actions сгъстява YAML на работните процеси в една страница за търсене: скелета на работния процес и тригери, jobs и runners, стъпки и популярни действия, изрази и контексти, условия и matrix builds, кеширане и артефакти, среди и права, преизползваеми работни процеси и композитни действия, конкурентност и таймаути, обичайни рецепти, отстраняване на грешки, и командите на gh CLI за Actions.
Файловете за работни процеси са предимно запомнен синтаксис (кой тригер се задейства при таг, как да се позовете на тайна, изразът if, който пропуска стъпка при fork, шаблонът на ключ за кеш за lockfile), затова всеки ред показва YAML фрагмента с обяснение в един ред.
Справката е безплатна и от страна на клиента: филтрирайте редовете на живо с полето за търсене, скачайте между разделите с фиксираното съдържание, копирайте всеки фрагмент с едно щракване и отпечатайте страницата като справочник за бюрото.
Как да използвате Бърза справка за GitHub Actions
- Прегледайте разделите, от Скелет на работния процес и тригери и Jobs и runners, до gh CLI за Actions.
- Търсете ключова дума като matrix, secrets или cache, за да филтрирате всеки ред на живо.
- Отидете на Обичайни рецепти за готов job за build, test или deploy, който да адаптирате.
- Щракнете върху YAML фрагмент или неговата иконка за копиране, за да го копирате във файла на работния си процес.

Често задавани въпроси
Дванадесет раздела: скелет на работния процес и тригери, jobs и runners, стъпки и популярни действия, изрази и контексти, условия и matrix, кеширане и артефакти, среди и права, преизползваеми и композитни работни процеси, конкурентност и таймаути, обичайни рецепти, отстраняване на грешки, и gh CLI.
Да: push, pull_request, schedule с cron, workflow_dispatch с входни данни, release, и филтрите по път и клон, които стесняват всеки от тях.
И двете имат собствени раздели: стратегии matrix с include, exclude и fail-fast, и actions/cache с ключове, базирани на lockfile, и restore-keys.
Да. Щракнете върху който и да е ред или иконката му за копиране и фрагментът попада в клипборда ви с кратко потвърждение.
Да, напълно безплатен: с търсене, готов за печат и визуализиран в браузъра ви без регистрация.
