Github Actions

What are they

They're automations that help Mudlet reduce administrative overhead. See Github's excellent overview for them.

Which have we got?

1. Compile Mudlet in macOS. When: on every Git push.
2. Update 3rdparty libraries used with Mudlet. This is: IRE Mapping script, Lua code formatter, character width algorithm, and our forks of edbee, sparkle-glue, dblsqd, qtkeychain. Note that fork updates don't check the origin repository but rather our forked version to ensure the main repo is up to date with it. When: every Friday night or manually.
3. Update autocompletion information in Mudlet. When: every Friday night or manually.
4. Update text available in Crowdin for translation. When: every Friday night or manually.
5. Remove extra whitespace from commit. When: whenever called by typing /wslint in a PR comment.

All of Mudlet's Github actions are available in the repository.

Running actions manually

As a member of the Mudlet core dev team, visit the panel available at https://www.actionspanel.app/app/Mudlet/Mudlet. Once there, you can hit the green button on an action to run it manually.

While nothing might seem to happen, this is normal - go to Mudlet's actions overview and you'll see your action running.
