GitHub Actions: The setup-go Action now enables caching by default
Enabling caching by default has demonstrated improved workflow performance, and can reduce build times by 20-40% for repositories with dependencies greater than 100 MB! This change has been made to the latest setup-go Action(V4). Developers no longer have to specify the cache: true parameter in their YAML file to obtain the benefits of caching. For more information on building, testing, and caching dependencies with Go, check out the docs here!
In addition to Ubuntu & Windows, GitHub Actions now attaches a SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) to hosted runner image releases for macOS. In the context of GitHub Actions hosted runners, an SBOM details the software pre-installed on the virtual machine that is running your Actions workflows. This is useful in the situation where there is a vulnerability detected, you will be able to quickly tell if you are affected or not. If you are building artifacts, you can include this SBOM in your bill of materials for a comprehensive list of everything that went into creating your software.
To check out the new files, head over to the runner-images repository release page now or check out our docs for more information.
We're thrilled to introduce the GitHub Classroom CLI extension for the GitHub CLI, designed to simplify the lives of teachers everywhere. With this powerful new tooling, teachers can create their own personalized workflows, as well as streamline any custom solutions they've already built.
To get started, ensure you have the GitHub CLI installed, then install the extension with the following command: gh extension install github/gh-classroom
Command your Classroom
The GitHub Classroom CLI extension provides a suite of commands to help you navigate your classrooms and assignments with ease. Here's a quick overview of its capabilities:
gh classroom list: List all your unarchived classrooms
gh classroom view: Show the details of a classroom, such as its name, description, URL, and roster
gh classroom assignments: Display a list of assignments for a classroom
gh classroom assignment: Show the details of an assignment, such as its title, type, deadline, starter code URL, and number of submissions
gh classroom accepted-assignments: List your students' accepted assignments
gh classroom clone starter-repo: Clone the starter code for an assignment
gh classroom clone student-repos: Clone all your students' submissions for an assignment (a scriptable alternative to the Classroom Assistant desktop application)
To target a specific classroom, use the -c flag with each subcommand (retrieve a classroom's ID through selecting it in gh classroom ls or gh classroom view). In the absence of the -c flag, an interactive picker navigable with arrow keys will help you select the target classroom.
This collections of subcommands marks the beginning of our journey to deliver power features that save you time and enhance your workflows.
You can report issues or request features on our public repository, where we look forward to open sourcing the code in the coming weeks.
