Turns out that not only do Actions runners come with jq preinstalled, but yq is there too.

There was a featured snippet for “is yq available on GitHub actions,” which directed me to a marketplace installer. The yq project itself had a marketplace installer. Clearly, I needed to install it before using it. Right?My colleague George Gastaldi looked at what I’d done, and pointed out yq was available on the runners. This matters, because we try and limit our use of external, ‘non-official’ actions, for supply chain security reasons.
So I searched again to confirm, and … still found very little. To actually confirm, I had to merge and experiment. And, indeed, the GitHub runners do come with yq pre-installed. They’ve had yq since 2021.

🚀 Continuous Deployment – technisch & menschlich
Wie schafft man 10 Deployments pro Tag, ohne Qualität oder Vertrauen zu gefährden?
Im #BaselOne25-Talk «Aspekte von Continuous Deployment» zeigen Nadine Broghammer & Marc Sallin, wie Architektur, Automatisierung und Teamkultur zusammenwirken, um CD auch in kritischen Systemen erfolgreich zu machen.

Ship Software That Does Nothing
You should ship software that does nothing. Absolutely nothing. I'm not being cheeky about this. I have no hidden meaning. The very first thing you should deliver when you start a new web application is absolutely nothing. Many people will tell you to ship a minimum viable product. Others say to ship a prototype to get feedback. Not me. I think you should ship a blank page to your production servers on day one.
