I am surprised by the comments about GH CI. I first started using CI on GL, then moved to GH and found GH's to let me get things done more easily.

It's been years through and the ease of doing simple things is not always indicative of difficult things. Often quite the contrary...



From what I gather it's that GH Actions is good for easy scenarios: single line building, unit tests, etc. When your CI pipeline starts getting complicated or has a bunch of moving parts, not only do you need to rearchitect parts of it, but you lose a lot of stability.


Bingo. GH Actions is great if you're deploying vanilla web stuff to a vanilla web server. I write firmware. GH Actions is hell.


Easy and good are radically different things.
