Writing a GitHub Action be like: why do something in 10 lines of bash when you could write 200 lines of JavaScript and pull in 30 package dependencies instead
But seriously though, I don’t understand why GitHub decided the only blessed way to get post-hooks is to write an action that must be executed by NodeJS. You can easily write a JS script that executes a shell script, so why not cut out the middle man entirely?
Sure GitHub publishes some npm packages which give you some cross platform APIs, but for a simple, Linux-only CI a shell script is more than plenty
