🪄 Full schema validaton == autocomplete in your favourite code editor
🧱 Build workflows through composition with needs and then
🏃‍♂️ Run steps conditionally with if

Installation

brew install simonwhitaker/tap/runny

Usage

Create a .runny.yaml file:

shell: /bin/bash
commands:
  install-uv:
    if: "! command -v uv"
    run: pip install uv
  pip-sync:
    needs:
      - install-uv
    run: uv pip sync requirements.txt
  pip-compile-and-sync:
    needs:
      - install-uv
    run: |
      uv pip compile requirements.in -o requirements.txt
      uv pip sync requirements.txt
  pip-install:
    argnames:
      - packagespec
    run: echo $packagespec >> requirements.in
    then:
      - pip-compile-and-sync

Then run commands with runny:

runny pip-install ruff

Examples

Go

  clean:
    run: |

  install-goreleaser:
    if: "! command -v goreleaser"
    run: brew install goreleaser/tap/goreleaser
  release:
    needs:

    run: go test ./...
  test-coverage:
    run: go test -coverprofile=c.out ./... && go tool cover -func="c.out"
  test-coverage-html:
    run: go test -coverprofile=c.out ./... && go tool cover -html="c.out"

Python

commands:
  update-requirements:
    run: pip freeze > requirements.txt
  pip-install:
    argnames:
      - packagespec
    run: pip install $packagespec
    then:
      - update-requirements

Docker Compose

Docker Compose has good command-line completion already. But using runny, you can add entries for just the commands you use regularly, then get an uncluttered list of options when you tab-complete.

commands:
  up:
    run: docker compose up -d
  down:
    run: docker compose down
  build-and-up:
    run: docker compose up --build -d
  logs:
    argnames:
      - service
    run: docker compose logs $service
  shell:
    argnames:
      - service
    run: docker compose exec $service sh
