Show HN: Write GitHub Actions in any language: Loopt

9 points Bnjoroge 1 hour ago 3 comments

Loopt generates the equivalent code for your workflows in any language, then compiles it down to your workflow files. First-party support for Rust, Python, Typescript, and Go, but it's trivial to add a new language. Check it out if you are tired of mangling YAML.

I assume you're looked into whether it's possible to generate the yaml at runtime, without committing the generated file to the repo?

Yes indeed, but it's not possible on Github, as Github expects the workflows to exist in .github/.

I like the idea.. I often use JavaScript in workflows through (actions/github-script) and Python inside (shell: python) Being able to write the entire workflow in my preferred language sounds really cool :)
