Description

Would you be interested in having GA workflows being added to the repository? I could provide you these workflows:

  • CI workflow triggered on PRs:
    • Does formatting checking
    • Runs clippy
    • Runs tests
  • CD workflow triggered when pushing a git tag:
    • Pushes a new version to crates.io

Additionally, the following could be done:

  • CI workflow for scheduled spinner updates:
    • Runs a cron job to update the spinners automatically. If updates do take place, a new patch version is published.

An alternative to the last workflow would be to turn the update_spinners script into a build script. That way, the files are always up-to-date. Compilation would be longer though (maybe 2sec-5sec, depending on the internet connection).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Learn how to create GitHub Actions workflow files in .github/workflows. For CI, use triggers on pull request and include steps for formatting, clippy, and tests. For CD, trigger on push of tags and use actions to publish to crates.io. Optionally, add a scheduled workflow for spinner updates or convert the update script to a build script.
