Introducing GitHub Actions Importer

We’ve launched a public preview of GitHub Actions Importer, which helps you forecast, plan, and automate migrations from your current CI/CD tool to GitHub Actions.

Doing individual migrations is relatively easy in isolation. However, for those that have a large and established CI/CD footprint, having tooling available to assist with migrations is key to their ability to adopt Actions at scale. In the time that we’ve been developing and using GitHub Actions Importer in its private preview form, we’ve encountered numerous customers that have thousands of pipelines—even in excess of 15K—in their legacy environments that need to be migrated. GitHub Actions Importer is designed to help when manual migration is not feasible, such as when users have a large number of teams that depend on hundreds or thousands of workflows.

Sign up here to request access to the public preview. Once you've been added, you will receive an email at the address registered on your GitHub account with instructions for getting started.

To learn more, see Automating migrations with GitHub Actions Importer and the announcement post on the GitHub blog.

Organization Invitation Improvements

Whether you invite a user to an organization via the API or via our user interface, we are bringing enhancements to make this experience better. From today, you can:

  • search for a user via a verified email address both within the API and on an organization’s “People” pages;
  • utilize the API to assign more than one enterprise member at a time to additional organizations within your enterprise;
  • view additional user information provided within the enterprise and organization “People” invitation pages.

Webhook docs generated from the OpenAPI schema

Recently, GitHub added webhooks to our OpenAPI schema. Now, Webhook events and payloads in the GitHub documentation is built from the OpenAPI schema. The schema-generated documentation is more accurate and comprehensive and includes the payload structure for each event and action type.

Currently, the new webhook docs are available for the Free/Pro/Team and GitHub Enterprise Cloud plans. GitHub Enterprise Server and GitHub AE will get the new docs with the next version release.

Do you have ideas for improvement? Open a documentation issue to let us know.
