Github Actions Templates

Solid collection of battle-tested GitHub Actions patterns that covers the essentials: CI testing with matrix builds across Node versions, Docker image builds with proper caching, Kubernetes deployments, and security scanning with Trivy and Snyk. The examples use current action versions (v4, v5) and include smart defaults like GitHub Container Registry integration and reusable workflows. Honestly, the real value here is having someone already figure out the permissions, caching strategies, and approval gates so you don't have to dig through docs at 2am when your deployment pipeline breaks. Best for teams standardizing their CI/CD or anyone tired of copying half-working YAML from StackOverflow.

GitHub Actions Workflow Patterns

When to Use

Implement testing, matrix builds, artifact preparation or an explicitly authorized deployment workflow for an existing repository.

Inputs

Inspect the repository's actual scripts, lockfile, supported runtimes, required check names and release policy. Read resources/implementation-playbook.md and references/common-workflows.md before choosing job boundaries.

Test Workflow

This Node example assumes the target repository declares npm test and supports Node 22. Adapt the runtime and command to the actual project. The pinned action revisions are explicit review inputs; verify them before adopting or updating the template.

name: Test
on:
  pull_request:
  push:
    branches: [main]
permissions:
  contents: read

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 15
    steps:
