Latest Ships 🚢 in Actions - Tons of New Features and Improvements!

GitHub Actions Importer GA

Three weeks ago we announced general availability of GitHub Actions Importer to all users. GitHub Actions Importer helps you plan, forecast, and automate migrations from Azure DevOps, CircleCI, GitLab, Jenkins, and Travis CI to GitHub Actions. It’s an extension of the official GitHub CLI and is available for free to any GitHub user. If you haven’t tried it yet, check out the documentation to learn how to get started and share any feedback here in the community.

Required workflows improvements(Beta) 💯

We have added a couple of new improvements to required workflows in GitHub Actions.

• Blocking direct push where required workflows are enforced.
• Ability to configure required workflows from refs.

For more information, see this documentation or read this changelog.

More power to you! GitHub-hosted x64 macOS runners are powerful than ever 💪

If you’re on a paid Team and Enterprise plan, you can now sign up for a beta to get access to new and powerful macOS runners for x64. Access is requested via the beta sign-up page.

Dependabot updates support reusable workflows for GitHub Actions

If you use versioned reusable workflows in GitHub Actions, you can now use Dependabot version updates to keep those workflows up-to-date in your repositories!

Create and manage Runner Groups in the Team plan

GitHub Team plan customers will be able to create, manage and delete runner groups to better manage their hosted and self-hosted runners. Enterprise customers will continue to have access to this feature at the Organisation and Enterprise level.
