Meanwhile, I'm documenting my unreleased web framework and thinking about CI. Everything I've ever heard about GH Actions is is that it's terrible. I know for a fact Circle CI is terrible and has a huge carrying cost. Talk me out of just using ECS and bash.

@davetron5000 GH actions have worked well for me for a rails API running minitest, simplecov → codecov, libvips, and about 100 gems.

I was particularly happy that cached bundled gems work pretty much automatically to save the repeated bundling when nothings changed in my deps across commits.

console output works fine, even term colors.

curious: what are your primary gripes with GH Actions?

@jm3 I’m don’t have any but just have heard lots of complaints about it and wondering if it’s something that people use out of inertia

@davetron5000 i mean, it being collocated with my src control and my issue tracking, and being low cost doesn’t hurt :)

fwiw i’ve not heard anything bad.
