flakers

Note: This is a very simple tool designed primarily for my personal workflows. Flakers is just a helper tool replacing flake-to-markdown: Parse a flake lock update commit and output (stdout) readable markdown with compare links to be consumed in a GitHub Action.

installation (nix flake)

build with nix:

nix build github:iff/flakers

example use:

nix --accept-flake-config flake update --commit-lock-file
git log -1 --pretty=%B | tail +3 | nix run github:iff/flakers >> "${GITHUB_OUTPUT}"

example output:

--github-output-armor

Pass --github-output-armor <KEY> to wrap the output in a GitHub Actions multiline output delimiter. This lets you write both the key and value to $GITHUB_OUTPUT in a single pipe, without needing a separate echo "key=..." >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT step.

git log -1 --pretty=%B | tail +3 | nix run github:iff/flakers -- --github-output-armor message >> "${GITHUB_OUTPUT}"
