06:00:00 +07:00 GitHub Actions Trigger Via Webhooks - I've been looking for options to automate site rebuilds on creating new content. There is reusable workflows, which is quite neat because the called workflow runs and literally appears as part of the caller workflow. Another optiom is to use webhooks, which, if I'm understanding the docs correctly, results in the called workflow running outside of the caller workflow, so you get essentially 2 workflows running, in 2 seperate repos. It's a somewhat subtle difference but operationally it's a very different way of doing things. I'm currently exploring using a combination of the two techniques to effectively share workflows across many repositories, which should make setting up new projects much less error prone and far easier to maintain. # mainawycliffe.dev
