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
syntaqxThe desktop app is 0.3.4, and the runner has a window of its own. Beside the title bar's Settings button a chip says what the runner is doing, live, with a dot in its colour (Runner running, Running a job, Running 2 jobs, Runner starting, Runner updating, Runner stopped, Runner offline, Runner needs you), as Docker Desktop shows its engine; in a narrow window only the dot shows. It opens the Runner window, as the tray's runner row now does: at its top what the whole runner is doing, with what it is running, its version and workspace, and its own Stop or Start; then each kind of job's card as before; then its setup (running jobs here at all, how jobs run, the workspace, the computer with Check for runner updates and View on g1t); and its log, open and following along as it is written. Settings keeps the runner as one line, what it is doing with Open runner, and each window saves only its own settings over what the app has now, so neither undoes the other's. The chip's words are diagnosis.rs's, the Runner window is made off the main thread as Settings now is, and it has a capability of its own with only the commands it uses; the title bar may now ask the runner's status. Two things fixed on the way: a settings row hidden until it applies, Restart to change the title bar, showed all the time, since its row's display beat the hidden attribute; and in a narrow window the title bar's buttons ran over the search, which now shrinks instead. The desktop guide describes the chip, the Runner window and where each runner setting now is.

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.
