Github Actions Templates

Generates production-ready GitHub Actions workflows with proper security scanning, matrix builds, and deployment pipelines. Covers the patterns most teams actually need: test automation across multiple Node/Python versions, Docker image builds with GHCR, Kubernetes deployments with approval gates, and vulnerability scanning with Trivy. The templates include proper caching, specific action versions, and reusable workflows to avoid copy-paste sprawl. Honestly, this handles about 90% of CI/CD scenarios you'll encounter, from basic PR checks to full production deployments with Slack notifications.

Common Workflow Patterns

Pattern 1: Test Workflow

name: Test

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, develop]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [18.x, 20.x]

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
          cache: "npm"

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm ci

      - name: Run linter
        run: npm run lint

      - name: Run tests
        run: npm test
