Its README frames the tool as a response to common GitHub Actions pitfalls and emphasizes generated workflows with timeouts, path filters, concurrency cancellation, caching, and reduced GITHUB_TOKEN permissions. ### Adoption history Upstream documents installation through go install, direct go run usage, and Homebrew. Public package-manager adoption appears intentionally narrow in the supplied facts, with Homebrew listed as the only package-manager entry. ### How it is used The CLI can analyze a repository or generate workflow files under .github/workflows. Supported templates include Android, Docker, npm/yarn, Go, Python, shell, YAML, Markdown, OpenAPI, and GitHub Actions linting workflows. ### Why package nerds care gabo is a small but package-relevant example of turning copied CI YAML into a versioned CLI. Its value is less about broad ecosystem history and more about encoding conservative workflow defaults into a repeatable tool. ### Timeline - 2023: GitHub repository created. - 2020s: Distributed through go install/direct go run and Homebrew according to upstream README and supplied package facts. ### Related projects - gabo-generated workflows refer to ecosystem tools such as actionlint, zizmor, hadolint, vacuum, and oasdiff for specific CI checks. - The README points readers to the author's GitHub Actions pitfalls article for background. ### Sources - - - ## 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:** gabo - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, 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. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [actions-up](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/actions-up/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci-cd, cli, developer-tools, github-actions. - [gama](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gama/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci-cd, cli, developer-tools, github-actions, go. - [act](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/act/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci-cd, cli, developer-tools, github-actions. - [jenkins-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jenkins-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci-cd, cli, developer-tools, go. - [tfcmt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tfcmt/) - 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-cd, cli, developer-tools, github-actions. - [brigade-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/brigade-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci-cd, cli, developer-tools. - [circleci](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/circleci/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ci-cd, cli, developer-tools. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
