Hi, So I am trying to look into all diffs of all commit when a push event is triggred.
My initial research didn't land me anywhere near to what I want.
Links I narrowed down :
docs.github.com/en/actions/referen...
docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/...
Anyone here have any idea, how I can get diffs and url of a diff file.
I want to learn github actions in simple way, where to start ? any resources except documentation?
Hello! I recommend this page from GitHub. This post is also a great initial point of reference 🙂
The first Github Actions

Hey, I made an action a few months back. Can I submit that one as well?
I think it will work but actions created during the Hackathon period will have more edge,
Kindly refer to this page for more info - dev.to/page/actions-hackathon-rules
I did but there is nothing related to this. Anyways Thanks a lot buddy!
How are duplicate entries being handled? If someone entered something first then someone else enters a slightly modified version of it later?
Hey folks, just had a doubt if one action could participate in more than one category?
Here is my post and I feel that it falls under both Phone Friendly and Maintainer Must-Haves

Hey there! If you feel that your project fits under more than one category, you can write two categories in your post. We prefer it if submissions are marked under one category for clarity but you can select two if necessary.
Is it possible to host a server(temporarily) in github action VM instance which can be accessed with the help of ip and port name ?
Basically I can access the public ip of vm instance and port on which express app is running. All I need is a way to open that express app in a browser with the help of url.
Thanks in advance.

Self-hosted GitHub Action is a thing and will allow you to do anything you would like to from your hosted verstion. Regarding this, but with GitHub hosted runners, Would the smee action work for you?

Hi , Is it required that the technologies that i use for this submission should be open source technologies ? Example : Can I use
Twilio? ButTwilioservices are not open sourced ?@graciegregory @leereilly @bdougieyo
Hey @shaijut , you're welcome to use any actions for your workflow. We only need the workflow .yml file to be open source. For Twilio specifically, perhaps this one could be useful to you? github.com/marketplace/actions/twi...
Thank you so much @jess . Appreciate. :)
Thanks a ton for running this dev.to. We've had a blast building for it. One question, we (my wife and I had) was what category you felt the thing we built would fall under? We were considering "Maintainer Must-Haves" or the "Wacky" category. The first progress report is here.
Cheers,
Jeremy
I think this can go under "Maintainer Must-Haves!"
Great thanks!
Hello Guys, if you can please help me in choosing a category for the action I want to create as described in my post. I think it should be under the Wacky Wildcards category.

Thanks.
Can we parallelize the work in Actions?
Hello,
Only jobs run in parallel, steps run sequentially.
