Ghygen

Ghygen is a GitHub actions Yaml Generator.

Ghygen allows you creating your Yaml file for GitHub Actions, for Laravel/PHP web application, so you can:

select triggering events: manually or automatically, when the developer push the code on a specific branch, or a developer create a new Pull Request;
select branches;
enable caching for all vendors;
enable caching PHP packages;
select multiple PHP versions (8.0, 7.4, 7.3);
select multiple Laravel versions (8, 7, 6), useful if you are developing a Laravel Package and you want to test it with multiple Laravel version;
select Node version for NPM (npm run something);
caching node packages;
setup Mysql service;
run migrations;
execute tests via phpunit;
static code analysis;
code sniffer (via phpcs for PSR12 compatibility);
validate Yaml file;
execute Browser Test via Laravel Dusk.

This is a Work In Progress, we are adding new features...

If you want to test and use quickly this tool, I deployed the codebase (main branch) on Digital Ocean Platform:

Ghygen Demo.

If you want to start using it locally you can clone the repo and install it following the instructions below.

Install

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
cp .env.example .env
composer install
php artisan key:generate

Start development server

php artisan serve

Open the browser to the URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Usage

Follow these steps:

access to the form (by default the URL is http://127.0.0.1:8000 if you run php artisan serve);
fill the form;
click on "Generate Yaml File" button.

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.
