github-actions

Run and lint GitHub Actions workflows locally — the act CLI and the actionlint linter — plus the guestfs-tools package.

github-actions installs the toolchain you need to execute a workflow on your own machine before pushing it: act runs the workflow in a container, and actionlint statically validates the workflow file. Both are pinned release binaries fetched from their upstream GitHub releases during the image build, so each lands at a fixed path and self-reports a version — its presence and operability are directly verifiable.

Compose the layer by pinning this repo in a box's candy: list:

my-ci-box:
  candy:
    base: fedora
    candy:
      - '@github.com/opencharly/layer-github-actions:v2026.242.1323'

Then, inside the built image:

act --version            # act version 0.2.89
actionlint -version      # 1.7.12
rpm -q guestfs-tools     # package presence

• charly.yml — the github-actions: candy entity: the pinned ACT_VERSION/ACTIONLINT_VERSION vars, the two download: steps, the guestfs-tools package, and the check: steps.
• .github/workflows/tag-on-merge.yml — CalVer tag + CHANGELOG/ on merge.
• README.md — this user overview.

• Family skill: /charly-coder:github-actions
• /charly-distros:github-runner — a self-hosted Actions runner (distinct from act)
• /charly-coder:docker-ce — a common companion for act workflow execution
• opencharly/charly — the charly CLI and image builder
• opencharly/opencharly — the umbrella
