Not confirmed that it's by Github, phishy domain.
embedding-shape•1h ago
Very weird of them to not use github.com but instead use the domain they otherwise use for non-github/user content. Phishy indeed, and then people/companies go ahead and blame users for not taking care/checking, yet banks and more continuously deploy stuff in a way to train users to disregard those things.
rendx•1h ago
Agreed, but looks like it: https://github.com/github/gh-aw
throwup238•1h ago
Why is it phishy? Github.io has been the domain they use for all GH pages for a long time with subdomains mapping to GH usernames. It’s standard practice to separate user generated content from the main domain so that it doesn’t poison SEO.
hmokiguess•55m ago
How is it not confirmed? GitHub cannot use their own product? Them using GitHub pages changes something? I don’t get it
lemonlime227•1h ago
Alternative, less phishy link: https://github.com/github/gh-aw

This is on GitHub's official account. For some reason GitHub is deploying this on GitHub pages without a different domain?

eddythompson80•1h ago
Why would that be phishy? They own the GitHub org on GitHub, hence github.github.io. I always thought it was a neat recursive/dogfood type thing even if not really that deep. Like when Reddit had /r/reddit.com or twitter having @twitter
embedding-shape•59m ago
When they launched github.io, they said it was for user-generated content, and official stuff will be on github.com. Seemingly that's changed/they forgot, but users seems to have remembered. Microsoft isn't famous for their consistency, so not unexpected exactly.
eddythompson80•46m ago
I’m pretty sure they have used it before, or maybe it was githubnext. I’m also pretty sure I have seen many large companies and organizations launch developer facing tools and stuff through GitHub pages. The structure of GitHub pages is pretty simple. You know the user/org from the domain. I’m still not sure what’s phishy about it. Is it a broken promise?
hmokiguess•56m ago
So them using their own product makes it phishy? I don’t get it

It’s not like someone else can or could own this link, could they?

Go: check

YAML: check

Markdown: check

Wrong level of abstraction: check

Shit slop which will be irrelevant in less than a year time: check

Manager was not PIP'd: check

I feel like this solution hallucinated the concept of Workflow Lock File (.lock.yml), which is not available in Github Actions. This is a missing feature that would solve the security risk of changing git tag references when calling to actions like utility@v1
acedTrex•35m ago
You can already hardcode the sha of a given workflow in the ref, and arguably should do that anyways.
eddythompson80•26m ago
You can also configure a policy for it [0] and there are many oss tools for auto converting your workflow into a pinned hash ones. I guess OP is upset it’s not in gh CLI? Maybe a valid feature to have there even if it’s just a nicety

chippiewill•25m ago
It doesn't work for transitive dependencies, so you're reliant on third party composite actions doing their own SHA locking.
woodruffw•13m ago
I think in this context they mean “lock” as in “these are the generated contents corresponding to your source markdown,” not as in “this is a lockfile.” But I think that’s a pretty confusing overlap for them to have introduced, given that a lack of strong dependency pinning is a significant ongoing pain point in GHA.

Does this products directly compete with GitHub Models [1]?

simonw•13m ago
I think it makes use of GitHub models.
woodruffw•18m ago
I find this confusing: I can see the value in having an LLM assist you in developing a CI/CD workflow, but why would you want one involved in any continuous degree with your CI/CD? Perhaps it’s not as bad as that given that there’s a “compilation” phase, but the value add there isn’t super clear either (why would I check in both the markdown and the generated workflow; should I always regenerate from the markdown when I need changes, etc.).

Given GitHub’s already lackluster reputation around security in GHA, I think I’d like to see them address some of GHA’s fundamental weaknesses before layering additional abstractions atop it.

> I find this confusing: I can see the value in having an LLM assist you in developing a CI/CD workflow, but why would you want one involved in any continuous degree with your CI/CD?

The sensible case for this is for delivering human-facing project documentation, not actual code. (E.g. ask the AI agent to write its own "code review" report after looking at recent commits.) It's implemented using CI/CD solutions under the hood, but not real CI/CD.
