We're thrilled to announce the release of /:\ gitStream v2, a significant update that brings native JavaScript action support to enhance your GitHub workflows. This release introduces a seamless upgrade from v1 to v2

What's New

We've migrated from Docker-based actions to native JavaScript actions. This change offers several benefits:

  • Improved Performance
    Native JavaScript actions typically have faster execution times compared to Docker-based actions, leading to quicker workflow runs
    Faster execution is because there is no need to download the docker

  • Simplified Configuration
    You no longer need to deal with Docker-related configurations. The property update_times_a_day is gone.

  • Enhanced Compatibility
    Same configuration for v1 and v2. Choose whatever you want, run with docker or native`, by changing the version number only.

How to Upgrade

To upgrade to gitStream v2, simply follow these steps:

  • go to the cm repo or dedicated repo, go to file .github/workflows/gitstream.yml
    change the old line uses: linear-b/gitstream-github-action@v1, to a new one uses: linear-b/gitstream-github-action@v2
  • if you used the cache in v1, just remove this property update_times_a_day: 6
