Show HN: Cross-Platform GitHub Action
by JacobCarlborg on Hacker News.
I’ve created a GitHub Action for running commands on multiple platforms. This includes platforms that GitHub Actions don’t natively support. It currently supports FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. OpenBSD can run on x86-64 and ARM64, the other operating systems run on x86-64. Some of the features that are supported include: * Multiple operating system with one single action * Multiple versions of each operating system * Allows to use default shell or Bash shell * Low boot overhead * Fast execution * Runs on both macOS and Linux runners Compared to similar solutions like https://ift.tt/qQs7kiV , the boot time is around a fifth and the full execution time for the same job is around half of freebsd-vm (last time I tried). The readme contains more information about how it all works under the hood.
