Automating Developer Things with GitHub Action
summary
Workshop shows how to build real GitHub Actions that run on events, use Octokit/Probot and a small Ruby script, and actually perform tasks: open an issue every Monday, invite contributor action, validated hackathon submissions and auto-approve/auto-merge by label. About 200 people trigger the invite action during the session; CI, linting and artifact upload are demonstrated (artifacts sometimes fail). The claim is concrete: small scripts + Actions automate standups, invites, PR triage and merging, and most of it works.
