ivuorinen/actions - My Reusable GitHub Actions and Workflows

Overview

This repository contains a collection of reusable GitHub Actions designed to streamline CI/CD processes and ensure code quality.

Each action is fully self-contained and can be used independently in any GitHub repository.

Key Features

• Production-Ready Actions covering setup, linting, building, testing, and deployment
• Self-Contained Design - each action works independently without dependencies
• External Usage Ready - use any action with pinned refs: ivuorinen/actions/action-name@2025-01-15 or @<commit-sha> for supply-chain security
• Multi-Language Support including Node.js, PHP, Python, Go, C#, and more
• Standardized Patterns with consistent error handling and input/output interfaces
• Comprehensive Testing with dual testing framework (ShellSpec + pytest)
• Modular Build System using Makefile for development and maintenance

Action Usage

All actions can be used independently in your workflows:

# Recommended: Use pinned refs for supply-chain security
- uses: ivuorinen/actions/action-name@2025-01-15 # Date-based tag
  with:
    # action-specific inputs

# Alternative: Use commit SHA for immutability
- uses: ivuorinen/actions/action-name@abc123def456 # Full commit SHA
  with:
    # action-specific inputs

Security Note: Always pin to specific tags or commit SHAs instead of @main to ensure reproducible workflows and supply-chain integrity.

Usage

Using Actions Externally

All actions in this repository can be used in your workflows like any other GitHub Action.

⚠️ Security Best Practice: Always pin actions to specific tags or commit SHAs instead of @main to ensure:

• Reproducibility: Workflows behave consistently over time
• Supply-chain integrity: Protection against unexpected changes or compromises
• Immutability: Reference exact versions that cannot be modified

steps:
  - name: Setup Node.js with Auto-Detection
    uses: ivuorinen/actions/node-setup@2025-01-15 # Date-based tag
    with:
      default-version: '20'

  - name: Detect PHP Version
    uses: ivuorinen/actions/php-version-detect@abc123def456 # Commit SHA
    with:
      default-version: '8.2'

  - name: Universal Version Parser
    uses: ivuorinen/actions/version-file-parser@2025-01-15
    with:
      language: 'python'
      tool-versions-key: 'python'
      dockerfile-image: 'python'
      version-file: '.python-version'
      default-version: '3.12'

Actions achieve modularity through composition:

steps:
  - name: Parse Version
    id: parse-version
    uses: ivuorinen/actions/version-file-parser@2025-01-15
    with:
      language: 'node'
      tool-versions-key: 'nodejs'
      dockerfile-image: 'node'
      version-file: '.nvmrc'
      default-version: '20'

  - name: Setup Node.js
    uses: actions/setup-node@sha
    with:
      node-version: ${{ steps.parse-version.outputs.detected-version }}

Development

This repository uses a Makefile-based build system for development tasks:

# Full workflow - docs, format, and lint
make all

# Individual operations
make docs          # Generate documentation for all actions
make format        # Format all files (markdown, YAML, JSON)
make lint          # Run all linters
make check         # Quick syntax and tool checks

# Development workflow
make dev           # Format then lint (good for development)
make ci            # CI workflow - check, docs, lint

Python Development

For Python development (validation system), use these specialized commands:

# Python development workflow
make dev-python         # Format, lint, and test Python code
make test-python        # Run Python unit tests
make test-python-coverage  # Run tests with coverage reporting

# Individual Python operations
make format-python      # Format Python files with ruff
make lint-python        # Lint Python files with ruff

The Python validation system (validate-inputs/) includes:

• CalVer and SemVer Support: Flexible version validation for different schemes
• Comprehensive Test Suite: Extensive test cases covering all validation types
• Security Features: Command injection and path traversal protection
• Performance: Efficient Python regex engine vs multiple bash processes

Testing

# Run all tests (Python + GitHub Actions)
make test

# Run specific test types
make test-python           # Python validation tests only
make test-actions          # GitHub Actions tests only
make test-action ACTION=node-setup  # Test specific action

# Coverage reporting
make test-coverage         # All tests with coverage
make test-python-coverage  # Python tests with coverage
