history
Project history and usage
GAMA, short for GitHub Actions Manager, is a Go-based terminal user interface for listing, triggering, monitoring, and managing GitHub Actions workflows from a shell.
Project history
The public GitHub repository was created in late 2023 and the first tagged 1.0.0 release appeared in January 2024. The project documentation presents it as a terminal-first companion for GitHub Actions, with configuration through a YAML file or a GitHub token environment variable.
The 2024 release stream quickly added workflow input handling, workflow history browsing, and usability fixes. By the 1.2 series in 2025, the README emphasized live refresh mode, Docker execution, and downloadable cross-platform binaries.
Adoption history
GAMA's adoption trail is typical of a focused developer CLI: its own release artifacts cover Linux, macOS, and Windows, while the input package facts record availability in Homebrew, Nix, Winget, and zypper.
How it is used
Users provide a GitHub token in ~/.config/gama/config.yaml or through GITHUB_TOKEN, then use the TUI to discover dispatchable workflows, inspect historical workflow runs, trigger workflows with inputs, and watch live status updates.
Why package nerds care
For package maintainers, GAMA is a small example of the post-GitHub-Actions tooling wave: instead of wrapping git itself, it wraps the CI control plane and ships as a single Go binary suitable for common package managers.
