We continue to focus our resources on strategic areas that help our customers be successful while making developers' lives easier. While GitHub Actions remains a key part of this vision, we are allocating resources towards other areas of Actions and are not taking contributions to this repository at this time. The GitHub public roadmap is the best place to follow along for any updates on features we’re working on and what stage they’re in.

That's insane, so they are basically dropping support on a core feature of GH Actions?

  This is on the checkout action too, by the way. You know, the very first thing people put in their CI pipeline.

    Wow, Microsoft just can't stop taking a dump on their users

      they probably have a half-assed plan to push some sort of checkout action copilot button instead of dependable scripts/actions.

        https://githubnext.com/projects/agentic-workflows/ https://githubnext.com/projects/agentic-workflows/ > Instead of writing bespoke scripts that operate over GitHub using the GitHub API, you describe the desired behavior in plain language. This is converted into an executable GitHub Actions workflow that runs on GitHub using an agentic "engine" such as Claude Code or Open AI Codex. It's a GitHub Action, but the "source code" is natural language in a markdown file.

        This looks like backwards. I would understand using a LLM to generate a GitHub Actions YAML, but always running your action from a Markdown file seems extremely wasteful in terms of resources. Edit: ok, looking at example it makes more sense. The idea is to run specific actions that are probably not well automated, like generating and keeping documentation up-to-date. I hope people don't use it to automate things like CI runs though.

        This seems like a real headache to me. I understand the value proposition of LLMs in the development cycle, but CI/CD is probably the last place where I want any degree of nondeterminism.

      Because they know most abusive business relationship partners don't leave (see also Oracle). No matter how many bruises, CIO's are not going to get fired for buying Big Blue or whoever is the current abusive standard.

  What they are really saying is they don't want third party contributions. They don't have anyone triaging Issues or PRs so don't send them. They will occasionally make changes if it aligns with a new product effort driven from within the org. Saying they're dropping support is a stretch esp as very few people actually pay for their Support package anyway..... (Yes they do offer it as a paid option to Enterprise customers)
