140140 `ermite run list|view|watch|cancel|rerun` and the `Actions` tab of a repository read and control the runs; `cancel` and `rerun` need the `ci:write` scope. With `failing_checks_block` on (the default, `ermite repo edit --failing-checks-block=false`), a merge is refused while a check of the head failed or has not finished. `concurrency:` is supported at the workflow level (evaluated when the run starts) and at the job level (evaluated when the job is planned, once per matrix leg): a group is per repository and compared without regard to case, `queue: single` (the default) lets one run or job go and keeps one waiting, a newer waiting entry cancels the older one (`Canceling since a higher priority waiting request for '<group>' exists`), and `cancel-in-progress` (a boolean or an expression) also cancels the running one. A job held back by a group shows `pending` in the API, the web pages and the CLI. A group that evaluates to nothing fails the job, and `queue: max` is refused with `not supported yet: queue: max`. Reusable workflows (`jobs.<id>.uses`) run: `./.github/workflows/x.yml` (the caller's repository, at the commit of the run), `owner/repo/.github/workflows/x.yml@ref` of a repository of this server when `owner` is `ERMITE_OWNER` and the actor of the run can read it (else the call fails as for a repository that does not exist), and otherwise a public repository on github.com, whose ref is resolved like the ref of an action and whose file is downloaded at that commit (at most 1 MiB). ermite expands the call when the job is planned: the called workflow must declare `on: workflow_call`, `with:` is checked against its inputs (types, `required`, defaults), `secrets:` passes the listed secrets, renamed as written, or all of them with `secrets: inherit` (a secret that is not passed is not there), and its `outputs` are available to the later jobs of the caller as `needs.<job>.outputs`. The jobs of the called workflow are named `<calling job> / <job>` and keyed `<calling job id>/<job id>`, wait for the `needs` of the calling job, and are repeated for each leg of its `strategy`; `permissions` can only be lowered by the called workflow. A call may nest four levels deep. `concurrency:` on the calling job and the workflow-level `concurrency:` of the called workflow (evaluated with the caller's `github` and the call's `inputs`) apply to the whole call, which holds the group until it ends, with `cancel-in-progress` as for any job. A workflow that uses another feature ermite does not support yet fails with `not supported yet: <feature>`, never silently. Logs are files under `$ERMITE_DATA_DIR/ci/logs`, and the job summaries (the Markdown a step writes to `GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY`) under `$ERMITE_DATA_DIR/ci/summaries`; both go with their run (retention, repository deletion). Annotations (`::notice`, `::warning`, `::error`) are kept in the metadata store. The run page shows them in an Annotations box and the job page at their step; the summaries are rendered under the run with the README renderer (raw HTML dropped, `javascript:` links dropped). `ermite run view` prints an ANNOTATIONS section, and `ermite run view --summary` prints the summaries as Markdown.

The cache (`actions/cache`, `setup-go`/`setup-node` `cache:`) is served by the runner and works.

Keyboard shortcuts

Single-key shortcuts are on. ctrl k and esc work whatever this says.

ctrl k :
go to a section, branch, tag, file or repository
?
this list
j k
move the row cursor down / up
enter
open the row under the cursor; on Files, a directory opens or closes in place
↑ ↓ ← → home end
in the file tree (focus on a row): previous / next row, close / open a directory or go to its parent / first entry, first / last row. They never open a file
l h
on Files: open a directory or a file / close a directory or go up to its parent, then to the parent page. Elsewhere: into the side panel (on a merge request, its files) / back to the content; there j k move between its controls
g g G
first / last row
/
filter the list; on Files, find a file anywhere in the repository (esc clears, enter opens the best match)
b
switch branch or tag
g s g f g c g b g m g i g r g a
tabs: summary, files, commits, branches & tags, merge requests, issues, releases, actions (when available)
g h
home
w
wide mode: use the whole width of the screen, or not (remembered)
y
copy a permalink pinned to the commit
d u x
diff: split / unified / collapse or expand all
e E
diff: the whole file in view / every file, with the lines the hunks hide
n
merge request: next note in the diff
esc
close a dialog, leave a field
