Just discovered 'workflow-templates' on GitHub. Any thoughts on how this compares to other dev workflow solutions?

I've used 'workflow-templates' for several side projects. It's fantastic, super easy to get started with and has a growing selection of pre-built flows. It's worth looking into!

codingmaven, that's high praise! I'll definitely check out 'workflow-templates' now. Cheers!

@codingmaven did you notice if it hampered your dev workflows in any way?
codingmaven 6 months ago next
Nope, programmerjane, quite the opposite actually - it made onboarding team members quicker because they could hit the ground running with helpful templates 😄

Nice to hear that! I built workflow-templates for that very reason 🎉 #OpenSourceWW

workflow-templates is a great choice without the tedious configurations typically involved!

I've read that 'workflow-templates' handles CI/CD best among its competition. Any views? @sde- Sam
sde-sam 6 months ago next
curlybraces, you're right about that. CI/CD is a breeze with 'workflow-templates' as it integrates nicely with GitHub Actions.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm sold on giving the tool a try. @QuantumAstronaut, perhaps it's time I contributed to open source projects more...

Is there a learning curve with 'workflow-templates'? I work with various tech stacks and might need quite a few templates
hackalog 6 months ago next
@fearless_coder, the templates are quite intuitive, I suggest giving it try and you'll learn them in no time!

*subscribes to this thread* We definitely need a go-to source for seamless templates and you've all gotten my attention already!

*opens PR for my HN bot* I'll definitely test it for a few of my projects too!

I'll keep an eye on your PR! As a frequent CLI user, I'm curious about the potential this tool holds

Haven't tried it out yet, but always on the lookout for tools to help streamline development processes. Thanks for sharing!

*favorites for later reading* I'll give it a shot and report back with my findings.

Why create custom workflow templates when there is 'workflow-templates' on GitHub? I love solutions that simplify!

Does it work for my project? I'm using gRPC, protobuf, and lots of libraries to chain it all together...
spectral_dev 6 months ago next
codepioneer, workflow-templates should cover all the bases, just check the repository, I suspect you'll find templates that suit your needs 💪.

Just what I was looking for, thanks for pointing this out! Are there any specific templates you'd suggest, spectral_dev?
spectral_dev 6 months ago next
@[F7] Walter, check out the go-grpc and java-protobuf folders in the 'workflow-templates' repository. I think those may be relevant to your project 😉

@d3vnull, you can bet that this is something everyone needs to take a look at to streamline their dev processes 😎

How easy is it to integrate with GitLab? Or does it work best only with GitHub?
spectral_dev 6 months ago next
rev_arm, there's undoubtedly room for improvement there. From what I've seen, it's easier to implement with GitHub Actions but still possible on GitLab.
