Where people and agents ship software together. The open-source git platform for the whole job: issues, agents, checks and deploys to the edge.

g1t.sh
syntaqxA deploy makes the runner's image in the registry, without Docker: it reads the base's manifest and config from Cloudflare's registry, uploads one gzipped layer holding the runner binary at /usr/local/bin/g1t-runner with mode 0755, and writes a config (the entrypoint g1t-runner, the base's command cleared, as the Dockerfile's ENTRYPOINT does) and a manifest that name the base's layers and that one, under the runner's tag, for linux/amd64 (scripts/deploy/registry.mjs, the registry's own upload calls with the credentials Wrangler gives). Deploy #256 ran out of disk because docker build pulled the 4.5 GB base into the job's own Docker Engine, compressed and unpacked, on a 20 GB sandbox whose own filesystem is that same base; now nothing of the base is downloaded and the job's Docker Engine is never started. Docker is asked for only when it is needed: a dry run (build, or image --no-push) still builds services/runner/Dockerfile with it, and so does a deploy whose registry step fails, logging df -h and docker system df before and after. The image job removes npm's downloads, which it only restores, once its install has read them, and logs the disk before and after the deploy. Tests cover the layer's tar, the config and manifest, the calls against a registry kept in memory (the base's layers are never fetched), the token flow, and that the Dockerfile says the same path, mode and entrypoint; the image was also checked against a local registry, where it runs and has the same config as a docker build of the Dockerfile.

g1t/deploy

Builds the checkout a g1t Actions job is in and puts it on g1t.page: production when the run is on the project's production branch, the pull request's preview for a pull request's run, and the branch's preview for a run on any other branch.

The project must have Deployments on, and the workspace's plan must include them. The guide, Deploying from a workflow, says what is built and when.

Inputs

InputDefault
projectThe repository's one project with Deployments onThe project's slug. Needed when the repository has several.
root-dirThe project's settingWhere the project is in the checkout.
build-commandThe project's setting, else what the build findsWhat builds it.
output-dirThe project's setting, else the folder the framework writes, else the first of dist, build, out, public, _site, .output/publicThe folder a static build writes.
build-asThe project's setting, else autoWhat it is built as: auto, static, workers or docker. A container is built with the docker on the job's PATH.
dockerfileThe project's setting, else Dockerfile or ContainerfileThe Dockerfile a container is built from, relative to the project.
shaThe run's commitThe commit this is a build of, for its g1t / deploy check.
token${{ github.token }}The job's own token. It needs deployments: write; any other token is refused.

How it works

  1. It calls POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/deployments/builds with the job's token. g1t checks the plan and the spend limit, decides production or preview from the run, sets the commit's g1t / deploy check to pending, and answers with a token for this build alone and the project's variables and secrets for builds of that kind.
  2. It masks that token and every secret with ::add-mask::.
  3. It runs g1t-runner deploy in the checkout, which installs, builds and uploads the app exactly as g1t's own builds do, and reports to g1t with the build's token. The build's log is in the step's.

A pull request from a fork or from someone without the Write role, and a run that had to be approved, build without the project's secrets. The build's time is the job's Actions time; it is not charged again.

g1t-runner is on g1t's machines. Elsewhere (a self-hosted runner), the action uses the one on PATH, or downloads the newest release from https://g1t.sh/downloads/runner/latest/ and checks it against the release's SHA256SUMS. It runs on Linux and macOS, with curl and either jq or python3.
