Github Actions for Viash

This repository stores Github Actions useful for building and publishing Viash components:

1. ns-build - viash ns build
2. ns-list - viash ns list
3. setup - Setup Viash

There are also some actions that are commonly used in Viash projects:

1. project/build-target - Build target directory
2. project/check-concurrent-pr - Check for concurrent PRs
3. project/detect-changed-components - Detect components with changed files
4. project/sync-and-cache-s3 - Sync and cache an S3 bucket
5. project/sync-and-cache - Sync and cache test resources specified by the project config
6. project/update-docker-engine - Update Docker Engine

Finally, there are some Viash Pro actions:

1. pro/build-nextflow-params - Build parameter yaml examples for Viash components
2. pro/build-nextflow-schemas - Build nf-tower schemas for Viash components
3. pro/generate-documentation-qmd - Build quarto markdown documentation files for Viash components

We recommend using v6 for your actions.

Release Management

This repository uses GitHub’s recommended release management for actions:

• GitHub releases with tags are used for updates on the actions.
• Semantic versioning is used, with major, minor and possibly patch release.
• Major versions (such as v1) will always point to the last minor or patch release for this major version. (when v1.0.2 is out, v1 will point to this update to). This means using viash-io/viash-actions/setup@v1 in your workflow file will automatically get the updated versions. Using viash-io/viash-actions/setup@v1.0.2 will pin a specific release.
• Major version changes (v1 to v2) will often come with breaking changes, and workflows might require manual updates.
