Exercism's GitHub Actions

A collection of custom GitHub actions used throughout Exercism.

Reusable workflow: configlet

The configlet reusable workflow can be used to easily run configlet commands. Currently, two commands are supported:

• configlet lint: check if a track's configuration files are properly structured (see the docs)
• configlet fmt: check if the track's files are properly formatted

Inputs

The commands can be enabled or disabled via two boolean inputs:

Name	Description	Type	Required	Default
lint	Run configlet lint	boolean	No	true
fmt	Run configlet fmt	boolean	No	false

Example: default (only linting)

name: Configlet

on:
  pull_request:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  workflow_dispatch:

permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  configlet:
    uses: exercism/github-actions/.github/workflows/configlet.yml@main

Note that the worklow will take care of everything, including checking out the code. We've also explicitly set the permissions to just reading contents.

Example: run linting and formatting

name: Configlet

on:
  pull_request:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  workflow_dispatch:

permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  configlet:
    uses: exercism/github-actions/.github/workflows/configlet.yml@main
    with:
      fmt: true

Example: only formatting

name: Configlet

on:
  pull_request:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  workflow_dispatch:

permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  configlet:
    uses: exercism/github-actions/.github/workflows/configlet.yml@main
    with:
      lint: false
      fmt: true

Reusable workflow: docker-build-push-image

The docker-build-push-image reusable workflow can be used to easily build and push a repository's Docker image to AWS ECR and/or Docker Hub.

Inputs

Which registry you want the built image to be pushed to can be enabled or disabled via two boolean inputs:

Name	Description	Type	Required	Default
aws_ecr	Push to AWS ECR	boolean	False	true
docker_hub	Push to Docker Hub	boolean	False	true

Secrets

These are the secrets that the workflow requires:

Name	Description	Type	Required
AWS_ACCOUNT_ID	The AWS account ID used to determine the ECR registry	string	Yes
AWS_REGION	The AWS region used to determine the ECR registry	string	Yes

      DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD: ${{secrets.DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD}}

Reusable workflow: deploy-lambda

The deploy-lambda reusable workflow can be used to easily deploy a lambda function to AWS ECR.

Inputs

There are the input parameters:

Name	Description	Type	Required
function_name	The name of the function to deploy	string	True

Secrets

These are the secrets that the workflow requires:

Name	Description	Type	Required
AWS_ACCOUNT_ID	The AWS account ID used to determine the ECR registry	string	Yes
AWS_REGION	The AWS region used to determine the ECR registry	string	Yes
AWS_ECR_ACCESS_KEY_ID	The access key ID used to log into AWS ECR	string	Yes
AWS_ECR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY	The secret access key ID used to log into AWS ECR	string	Yes

Example: default

name: Push Docker images to DockerHub and ECR and deploy to AWS

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
  workflow_dispatch:

permissions:
  contents: write

jobs:
  build-and-push-image:
    uses: exercism/github-actions/.github/workflows/docker-build-push-image.yml@main
    secrets:
      AWS_ACCOUNT_ID: ${{secrets.AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}}
      AWS_REGION: ${{secrets.AWS_REGION}}
      AWS_ECR_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{secrets.AWS_LAMBDA_ACCESS_KEY_ID}}
      AWS_ECR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{secrets.AWS_LAMBDA_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}}
      DOCKERHUB_USERNAME: ${{secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME}}
      DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD: ${{secrets.DOCKERHUB_PASSWORD}}

  deploy-lambda:
    uses: exercism/github-actions/.github/workflows/deploy-lambda.yml@main
    needs: build-and-push-image
    with:
      function_name: snippet_extractor
    secrets:
      AWS_ACCOUNT_ID: ${{secrets.AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}}
      AWS_REGION: ${{secrets.AWS_REGION}}
      AWS_ECR_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{secrets.AWS_LAMBDA_ACCESS_KEY_ID}}
      AWS_ECR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{secrets.AWS_LAMBDA_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}}

Note that the deploy lambda workflow depends on the Docker image already having been pushed to ECR, which is done in the build-and-push-image job.

Reusable workflow: labels

The labels reusable workflow can be used to sync the repository's labels via its .github/labels.yml file.

Example

name: Tools

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
    paths:
      - .github/labels.yml
      - .github/workflows/sync-labels.yml
  workflow_dispatch:
  schedule:
    - cron: 0 0 1 * * # First day of each month

permissions:
  issues: write

jobs:
  sync-labels:
    uses: exercism/github-actions/.github/workflows/labels.yml@main
