| description | Add a GitHub Actions CI workflow running build, lint, test, and fmt checks with pnpm. Use when: adding CI, setting up GitHub Actions checks, adding a build/lint/test workflow. Building block for create-website. |
Add CI Workflow
Add .github/workflows/ci.yml that gates every PR on build, lint, test, and formatting.
Step 1: Confirm the scripts exist
Check package.json for build, lint, test, and fmt:check. If any are missing, add them (or adapt the workflow to what the repo actually uses) — don't ship a workflow that calls scripts that don't exist.
Step 2: Create the workflow
name: CI
on:
pull_request:
push:
branches: [main]
jobs:
build:
name: Build
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
timeout-minutes: 15
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v6
- uses: pnpm/setup@v1
with:
cache: true
- run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
- run: pnpm build
fmt:
name: Format
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
timeout-minutes: 15
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v6
- uses: pnpm/setup@v1
with:
cache: true
- run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
- run: pnpm fmt:check
lint:
name: Lint
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
timeout-minutes: 15
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v6
- uses: pnpm/setup@v1
with:
cache: true
- run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
- run: pnpm lint
test:
name: Test
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
timeout-minutes: 15
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v6
- uses: pnpm/setup@v1
with:
cache: true
- run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
- run: pnpm test
Each check runs as its own job so they execute in parallel and a failure in one doesn't mask the others.
If build needs env vars (e.g. Turso credentials for a build-time db connection), add them from repo secrets.
Step 3: Verify
If the repo is on GitHub and the user wants it pushed now, push and watch the run (gh run watch) until green. Otherwise note that verification happens on first push.
CI enforces pnpm's minimumReleaseAge supply-chain policy (local installs don't). If install fails with ERR_PNPM_MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE_VIOLATION, pin the flagged package to a release older than 24h rather than relaxing the policy.
