If you want to test and use quickly this tool, I deployed the codebase (`develop` branch) on Digital Ocean Platform: - [Ghygen Demo](https://ghygen.hi-folks.dev/). If you want to start using it locally you can clone the repo and install it following the instructions below. Command line ------------ [](#command-line) Ghygen is also a command line tool for generating **automatically** a GitHub Actions workflow Yaml file. You can install Gygen as project with composer: ``` composer create-project hi-folks/ghygen cd ghygen ``` Once you installed Ghygen, you can execute: ``` php artisan ghygen:generate --projectdir=../otherproject ``` Where `../otherproject` is the directory (absolute or relative path name) with your Laravel project (application or package) that yuo want to automatically generate the GitHub Actions workflow yaml file. This command, will extract information from some project file like: - `composer.json` - `package.json` (if it exists) - `.env` file - ... and other assets in order to guess a configuration for your GitHub Actions workflow. By default, the command execution will show the Yaml workflow file in the standard output. If you want to save it in a file, for example the "my-workflow.yml" file, you can use `--save` option: ``` php artisan ghygen:generate --save=my-workflow.yml ``` If you want to autogenerate Yaml file in the `.github/workflows` directory use `--save=auto`: ``` php artisan ghygen:generate --save=auto ``` The file name will be created with the `name` value found in the `composer.json`. So if you want to generate the workflow for the project in the directory `../myproject`, you can execute the command with `--projectdir` and the `--save` options: ``` php artisan ghygen:generate --projectdir=../myproject/ --save=auto ``` The Ghygen Web version ---------------------- [](#the-ghygen-web-version) ### Install the Web version [](#install-the-web-version) For running the Web version of Ghygen, you can clone source code, enter the new directory and perform a couple of instructions: ``` git clone https://github.com/Hi-Folks/gh-actions-yaml-generator.git cd gh-actions-yaml-generator make install ``` Then create your database and update the .env file with the right values for DB\_\* . Once your Database is configured you can execute the migrations: ``` php artisan migrate ``` Start development server ``` php artisan serve ``` Open the browser to the URL: ### Usage [](#usage) Follow these steps: - access to the form (by default the URL is if you run php artisan serve); - fill the form; - click on "Generate Yaml File" button. [![github-actions-generator-laravel](github-actions-generator-laravel.png "github-actions-generator-laravel")](github-actions-generator-laravel.png) Next, copy the content of your generated Yaml in a new file in your Laravel project *.github/workflows/laravel\_workflow.yaml* . Commit and push the new file. If you configured "On - Push" you will see the running Actions in your Actions section of your GitHub project.
