.github/workflows/ci.yml you can drop into a repository. The output follows standard GitHub Actions idioms: checkout, setup- actions, dependency restore, and a lint/test/build phase.GitHub Actions Workflow Generator
Choose a trigger, runner, and toolchain — copy a ready-to-commit ci.yml for GitHub Actions.
Runs entirely in your browser — workflow YAML is generated locally, nothing is uploaded.
Saved as .github/workflows/NAME.yml
The generated file uses current action versions: actions/checkout@v4, actions/setup-node@v4, actions/setup-python@v5, actions/cache@v4.
Steps follow the standard CI shape: checkout, toolchain setup, cache, install dependencies, lint, test, build.
Commit the file as .github/workflows/<name>.yml at the repository root.
Node — npm ci, npm run lint (if enabled), npm test, npm run build.
Python — pip install -r requirements.txt, ruff/flake8 or pytest, build via python -m build.
Java Maven — mvn -B test and package with the ~/.m2 cache.
Java Gradle — gradle build with gradle/actions/setup-gradle.
Ruby — bundle install, rubocop (optional), bundle exec rake.
Go — go test ./..., go vet with the module cache.
.NET — dotnet restore, dotnet test, dotnet build with the NuGet cache.

About GitHub Actions Workflow Generator
Pick a trigger, choose your runner and toolchain, toggle caching and matrix builds, and get a ready

How to Use
1. Choose the trigger and target branches. 2. Select a runner and your toolchain. 3. Toggle caching and, if you want, a job matrix. 4. Copy the generated YAML into .github/workflows/ci.yml and commit.
Examples
A Node + ubuntu workflow with actions/setup-node v4, npm ci, npm test, npm run build, and caching. A Python + ubuntu workflow with setup-python, pip install -r requirements.txt, pytest, and pip cache. A Go workflow with setup-go and go test ./... with module cache.
Benefits
No more memorizing action versions and cache paths. Every generated workflow is self-contained, readable, and matches current GitHub Actions syntax.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my configuration uploaded anywhere?
No. The generator is fully client-side: your branch, OS, and toolchain choices are combined into YAML locally and never sent to a server.
What file should this produce?
A .github/workflows/ci.yml file (or a custom name you type). Place it in the repository root; GitHub detects the file on push and runs the jobs automatically.
Which event triggers does it support?
push to branches, pull_request, and a manual workflow_dispatch trigger. You pick the branches and the generator writes the matching on: block.
Can I cache dependencies?
Yes. Enabling caching emits the actions/cache step tuned to the selected toolchain: npm, pip, Maven, Gradle, RubyGems, or Go module cache.
What runners are available?
ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, and macos-latest, with the ability to set a custom runner label for self-hosted setups.
Do I need a separate file per language?
No. The selected toolchain decides checkout, setup, dependency install, caching, and the lint/test/build commands all in one workflow.
Does it include a real Node or Python version of the generator?
No native code, no npm install. The tooling commands are emitted into YAML as steps, and the generator itself needs no build step.
Can I use it offline?
Yes. Once the page is served anywhere, it works offline like every other tool in this suite.
