FAQPage Schema
How do I extract specific jobs from a GitHub Actions workflow to create a reusable YAML file?▼

To create a reusable GitHub Actions workflow, you select specific jobs from a base workflow and assign a final name. The tool parses the base workflow, resolves job dependencies, and outputs a new YAML file without overwriting the original.

What happens to job dependencies when I only select certain jobs for my reusable workflow?▼

When generating a reusable workflow, the tool automatically resolves job dependencies and excludes non-selected dependent jobs. This ensures the final YAML maintains correct execution flow without breaking the CI pipeline.

Can I modularize an existing CI pipeline by reusing proven job blocks for different projects?▼

Yes, you can modularize CI pipelines by extracting proven job blocks from a base workflow into a reusable workflow. This allows teams to tailor and reuse specific jobs across different projects efficiently.

Where does the generated reusable GitHub Actions workflow YAML file get saved?▼

The generated reusable workflow YAML is output under the .github/workflows directory. The generation process strictly avoids overwriting your base workflow file to preserve your original configuration.

What inputs do I need to provide to generate a reusable GitHub Actions workflow?▼

You need to provide the base workflow name, the specific jobs to include, and the final workflow name. These inputs allow the tool to parse the original file and generate the new YAML configuration.
