Introducing Actions on the Repository view on GitHub Mobile

[tuves]

Actions are coming to your Repositories on GitHub Mobile! Find all your repository's workflows in one convenient place.

Tapping on the new "Actions" row on a Repository now shows you a list of all of the Repository's workflows. Choosing a workflow will show you all of its runs, allowing you to check up on things while on the go. If you want to dig into the details, tapping on a run will lead you into the familiar workflow experience we brought you last year to explore everything from a run's overall status to its individual jobs and even logs.

A run didn't go as planned? No problem. Toggle the new debug-switch when re-running a workflow to see what's going on under the hood, just like you would on GitHub.com.

This is a great feature!
When I changed the language to Japanese and checked, it was displayed as "アクションアクション".
I think "アクション" or "Actions" is correct.

The tested environment is as follows:

• iOS 16.4.1 (a)
• GitHub Mobile 1.112.1

Please let me know if it is not appropriate to write here and I will move it.

This new feature on GitHub Mobile allows for easier tracking and management of repository workflows while on the go, freeing up time for developers to focus on other tasks. With the ability to view all workflows in one place and easily access the details of each run, developers can quickly troubleshoot any issues that arise. The addition of the debug-switch when re-running a workflow also provides a valuable tool for identifying problems and resolving them efficiently. This update further enhances the convenience and accessibility of GitHub Mobile for developers.

The most useful part of viewing actions for me is being able to go to a specific commit in the master branch or pull request and see the actions for that commit/PR.

So a bits of feedback:

On the new actions view from the repository screen it doesn't seem like there's a way to get to the pull request that triggered the action, while that does exist in the browser UI.

When viewing a commit, there's no obvious way to get to the actions runs for that commit.

The actions view doesn't show any third party actions from services such as Azure DevOps, which is quite limiting as half of my projects jobs are on that service.

Hi @ADKaster

If you click on the three dots on a run, it will display the pull request

Very nice to see the actions on mobile, but this feature is missing the custom results output aka build summary, for example https://github.com/hfhbd/ComposeTodo/actions/runs/4994919057/attempts/1#summary-13526620423

It looks like tapping on “Artifacts” (such as on this workflow run) just pushes the same page again rather than showing the artifacts.

anyway to dispatch a workflow run?

How to manually run a action there is only option to re-run action

If you require more granular control over actions, consider splitting your workflow into multiple smaller workflows or using a matrix strategy for handling variations of the same action with different inputs.

@tuves you chose the wrong category. You should have chose show and tell

Introducing Enhanced GitHub Mobile Experience for Workflow Management

Staying on top of your projects has never been easier with the latest update to GitHub Mobile. The new "Actions" feature brings enhanced workflow management to your fingertips, enabling you to monitor and troubleshoot your repository's workflows effortlessly, no matter where you are.

With the addition of the "Actions" row on each repository's page, you now have a centralized location to access your repository's workflows. Gone are the days of navigating multiple pages to find what you need. A simple tap on the "Actions" row presents you with a comprehensive list of all the workflows associated with the repository.

But that's not all. Once you've chosen a specific workflow, you're greeted with a seamless view of all its runs. This means you can easily keep track of the progress and performance of your workflows on the go. Each run's status and details are neatly displayed, giving you a quick overview of how things are progressing.

Should a run encounter unexpected issues, fret not. The new debug-switch functionality comes to the rescue. When re-running a workflow, you can activate the debug switch to delve into the inner workings of the process. This brings the same level of transparency and insight as you'd find on the desktop version of GitHub. Identifying and rectifying issues has never been more straightforward.

For those times when you need to deep-dive into the nitty-gritty details, tapping on a specific run guides you through the familiar workflow experience that was introduced last year. This means you can analyze individual jobs, inspect logs, and gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire process, all within the confines of your mobile device.

In conclusion, the latest update to GitHub Mobile introduces a powerful suite of features for managing your repository workflows. From quickly accessing and monitoring workflows to diagnosing and rectifying issues, the new "Actions" feature brings the robust functionality of GitHub's desktop version to your mobile device. Stay connected and in control of your projects, wherever you are.
