history
Project history and usage
Actions Up is an interactive CLI for finding newer GitHub Actions references in workflow and composite-action YAML, then updating them with SHA pinning by default.
Project history
The project was created in August 2025 and released v0.1.0 the same day. Its README positions the tool around secure and reproducible CI by replacing mutable action tags with exact commit SHAs unless the user chooses to preserve tag-style references.
Adoption history
The README supports quick npx use, global npm installation, per-project dev dependency installation, and Homebrew installation, which puts it in the common JavaScript CLI plus package-manager distribution pattern.
How it is used
Actions Up scans .github/workflows, .github/actions, root action.yml/action.yaml files, and reusable workflow calls. Users can run interactive mode, --yes auto-update mode, --dry-run, --json report mode, recursive scans, custom directories, update modes, exclusions, and CI checks.
Why package nerds care
It is notable in package-manager culture because it overlaps dependency-update bots while staying local and interactive: users can inspect updates, pin SHAs, and generate CI reports without adopting a hosted bot workflow.
