The project documentation presents it as a terminal-first companion for GitHub Actions, with configuration through a YAML file or a GitHub token environment variable. The 2024 release stream quickly added workflow input handling, workflow history browsing, and usability fixes. By the 1.2 series in 2025, the README emphasized live refresh mode, Docker execution, and downloadable cross-platform binaries. ### Adoption history GAMA's adoption trail is typical of a focused developer CLI: its own release artifacts cover Linux, macOS, and Windows, while the input package facts record availability in Homebrew, Nix, Winget, and zypper. ### How it is used Users provide a GitHub token in ~/.config/gama/config.yaml or through GITHUB_TOKEN, then use the TUI to discover dispatchable workflows, inspect historical workflow runs, trigger workflows with inputs, and watch live status updates. ### Why package nerds care For package maintainers, GAMA is a small example of the post-GitHub-Actions tooling wave: instead of wrapping git itself, it wraps the CI control plane and ships as a single Go binary suitable for common package managers. ### Timeline - 2023: Public GitHub repository created. - 2024: v1.0.0 released with binary assets. - 2024: v1.1 releases continued workflow and usability work. - 2025: v1.2 releases documented live mode and cross-platform binary downloads. ### Related projects - GitHub Actions is the service GAMA manages. - GitHub CLI can supply an authentication token for GAMA. - Termkit is the GitHub organization publishing the project. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
