Runs and logs

Read a card

Runs lists what has run in one repository, newest first, one card a run.

• The pill is the run's state: queued, running, or how it ended.
• What started it is the event behind it: a schedule, a push, a label, or somebody pressing the button.
• The branch and how long it took sit beside it, and times read in your own time zone.
• Any pull request it opened is linked from the card.
• Logs opens the run on github.com, which is where every line it printed lives.

The window it reads

• The last seven days, read from GitHub once when the page opens.
• Thirty runs at most are listed; a busier week says how many it held back.
• GitHub serves only its newest runs at once, and a read that hit that says so too.
• A quiet week names when the repository last ran; one that has never run is told what would start it.

Start one yourself

• Start a run in the editor dispatches the file on a branch you choose, with the inputs its workflow_dispatch trigger declares.
• It runs what is committed, not what is on your screen, so unsaved edits are refused.
• No workflow_dispatch trigger, no button. Add one and save first.
