GitHub Actions now supports free-threaded Python!

I wrote up how to add it your workflows so you can start testing free-threaded Python 3.13 and 3.14 with either actions/setup-python or actions/setup-uv.

GitHub has removed a poisoned Action used in 23,000+ repos after it exfiltrated CI secrets, prompting concerns over supply chain security

#TIL: Enable Automatic Inline Annotations in PR using Ruff in GitHub Actions

Want to see linting issues directly in your PR instead of digging through logs? With Ruff and GitHub Actions, you can enable automatic inline annotations, making it easier to spot and fix issues.

Hi!

I'm Adrian, a FullStack #Developer looking for a job either in #Québec (or from it if you allow for remote work). I already have a permanent and open visa

I have experience building and maintaining web apps and APIs, designing systems, doing #DevOps and a bit of #BigData, #MachineLearning and #IoT

I'm experienced using #Elixir, #Phoenix, #LiveView, #NodeJS, #TypeScript, #Fastify, #Express and #Python ; and on the DevOps side in CI/CD pipelines (either #GithubActions and Gitlab CI/CD), #Docker and a bit of #Kubernetes

I was tasked with a lot of the #innovation happening in my previous company, researching tools, librairies, patterns or general technologies either for our own #DeveloperExperience or for our products

I also wrote a lot of technical and non technical documentation and internal presentations, and even participated in a few meetups. You can read some of my writing on my blog: https://blog.adrianc.eu

You might also have seen me on a few Elixir-related Discord servers, or even Bluesky (@adrianc.eu) and Twitter ; either sharing tech news, helping people, reading in book clubs or just chatting

I’m open to full-time right now, contracting work can be discussed.

I'm looking for any developer position, not only #ElixirLang, even though it represents most of my experience. And if the technology you're using isn't on my resume, give me a chance! I'm a fast learner and I might anyway have studied it in class :P

DM me for more info, like github link, my resume or anything :)

Boosts, responses and DM welcome, of course!

EDIT: I already have a visa, it was not super clear before

Is there a good GitHub Action for checking prose? Like formatting but also spell checking?

I wrote a little thing to show how to speed up CI using uv.

You can save about 20s on pre-commit linting and about 40s on a test matrix:

PS please share your tips too!

Are you using macos-12 on GitHub Actions?

It's deprecated:

"We are beginning the deprecation process for the macOS 12 runner image, which allows us to balance our fleet capacity ahead of our upcoming macOS 15 launch. This image will be fully retired by the December 3rd, 2024. We recommend updating workflows to use `macos-14`, `macos-13`, or `macos-latest`."

https://github.blog/changelog/2024-08-19-notice-of-upcoming-deprecations-and-breaking-changes-in-github-actions-runners/

If you still need Intel, use macos-13.

Otherwise, the others are M1 and much quicker.

Want to test PowerShell code in your GitHub Actions? Add this command then you should be able to run `pwsh -C '...'` commands:

echo /opt/microsoft/powershell/7 >> $GITHUB_PATH

Is it possible to filter GitHub Actions based on the pushed paths, but for *individual jobs* not the whole yml file?

Calling all Python library maintainers!

Python 3.13 is now in beta, with the second of four beta releases out later today!

It's now time to start testing your libraries with 3.13 and report any problems back to CPython so they can be fixed before the big October release. And make any updates you need to upgrade your library; keep an eye out for removals and deprecations.

Here's how to test 3.13 on GitHub Actions:

I have been trying to configure the metrics GitHub action by lowlighter, but I am having extensive difficulty in getting it to even export 1 image. I have it functional to the point that it runs, but not to the point where it successfully runs. Currently, it gets stuck on the error "resource not accessible via integration" I am trying to create a workflow that will generate 25 images for my very large GitHub account. I may split it into multiple workflows if needed. I want to get it functional first. Any help would be appreciated. I have been stuck for about a week

The action itself can be found here: https://github.com/seanpm2001/GitHub_Stats_B/blob/GitHub_Stats_B_Main-dev/.github/workflows/github-stats-b.yml

The log history can be found here: https://github.com/seanpm2001/GitHub_Stats_B/tree/GitHub_Stats_B_Main-dev/Logs/2024
