Its README positions the tool around secure and reproducible CI by replacing mutable action tags with exact commit SHAs unless the user chooses to preserve tag-style references. ### Adoption history The README supports quick npx use, global npm installation, per-project dev dependency installation, and Homebrew installation, which puts it in the common JavaScript CLI plus package-manager distribution pattern. ### How it is used Actions Up scans .github/workflows, .github/actions, root action.yml/action.yaml files, and reusable workflow calls. Users can run interactive mode, --yes auto-update mode, --dry-run, --json report mode, recursive scans, custom directories, update modes, exclusions, and CI checks. ### Why package nerds care It is notable in package-manager culture because it overlaps dependency-update bots while staying local and interactive: users can inspect updates, pin SHAs, and generate CI reports without adopting a hosted bot workflow. ### Timeline - 2025: Repository created. - 2025: v0.1.0 release published. - 2026: v1.15.0 release published on June 29. ### Related projects - The README compares Actions Up with Dependabot, Renovate, and pinact. ### Sources - GitHub repository and releases API for creation and release chronology. - Official README for project positioning, usage, install paths, and related tools. ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** actions-up - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [node](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/node/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [gabo](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gabo/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci-cd, cli, developer-tools, github-actions. - [actionlint](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/actionlint/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci, ci-cd, cli, developer-tools, github-actions. - [act](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/act/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci-cd, cli, developer-tools, github-actions. - [codecov-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/codecov-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci, ci-cd, cli, developer-tools. - [gama](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gama/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci-cd, cli, developer-tools, github-actions. - [gitlab-ci-linter](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gitlab-ci-linter/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci, ci-cd, cli, developer-tools. - [gitlab-ci-local](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gitlab-ci-local/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci, ci-cd, cli, developer-tools. - [gitlab-runner](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gitlab-runner/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci, ci-cd, cli, developer-tools. - [pinact](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pinact/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
