Very interesting tool. Github actions is definitely a thing and will probably play a major role in CI / CD in the future.

It took me a bit of time to understand it from the homepage though. That would be awesome to have just a simple directory to clone to test it.

Great work!

Hello, thanks for the kind words, and yes I think GitHub Actions have the potential to replace a large part of the current GitHub SaaS ecosystem.

There are a few demos listed in the Features section. The simplest one being a wordpress repo which shows the absolute minimal configuration required in terms of files (1 docker-compose, and 1 workflow file): https://github.com/pullpreview/demo-wordpress

You can clone that repo and fill in your AWS credentials in the Secrets section of the GitHub repository settings, and then you'll get a live environment running (like in https://github.com/pullpreview/demo-wordpress/deployments)
