use a GitHub Action to distribute standard workflow templates across participating repos #25

Closed marten-seemann closed 3 years ago

marten-seemann commented 3 years ago

We can use GitHub actions to

  1. Create self-contained template workflows that repositories across the org can use (as a first step for unit testing, later maybe also for linting).
  2. Use GitHub Actions to automatically create PRs in all participating repositories every time we make a change to those workflows. This solves the two main problems with our current setup:
    1. It ensures consistent and up-to-date workflows across all participating repositories.
    2. It makes sure that test failures resulting from a change to the workflow are surfaced immediately.

The current plan is to use this repository for a unit testing template, and use that workflow in some IPLD repositories first to gain some experience, and roll this out to other projects later.
