ESHGHAM

The Executive Summarizer of Health for GitHub Actions Monitoring (ESHGHAM, which is also a Farsi term of endearment translating as "my love") is a dashboard to check on the status of your neglected GitHub Actions.

Do you maintain a lot of GitHub repositories? Projects you want to keep alive, even if they aren't very active?

Do you worry that you'll miss one of the warning emails GitHub sends you when a scheduled workflow becomes inactive? Have you missed them before, only discovering that CI hadn't been running for months after a user complained about incompatibility with a new release of a dependency?

Do you worry that a colleague may be responsible for the latest merge, and could be ignoring notifications of failing CI?

Then ESGHAM is for you!

ESHGHAM is a little command line utility to check on your scheduled workflows.

Here's what it looks like in practice:

Installation

Usage

usage: eshgham [-h] [--token TOKEN] workflows_yaml

A dashboard for your neglected GitHub Actions workflows. Version 0.0.1.dev0.

positional arguments:
  workflows_yaml  Workflows in YAML format. This is provided with repository
                  'owner/repo_name' as a string key, and workflow filename as
                  the value. The special key 'token' may be used for the
                  GitHub personal access token.

options:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  --token TOKEN   GitHub personal access token. May also be provided using
                  'token' as a key in the workflow YAML file, or in the
                  environment variable `GITHUB_TOKEN`. The command argument
                  takes precedence, followed by the YAML specification.

YAML config

The YAML config is a mapping of repository names to lists of workflow YAML file names. It also allows (optionally) the key token, which would have the value of your GitHub personal access token.

Here's my config file, for illustration (obviously, my GitHub token is removed).
