Script to auto-setup github actions

Show & Tell
1

Every time I want to setup github actions, I need to google yet again what I need to set up, forget to update the branch name in the fly.yml example provided, …

Solution

A very simple script which

  1. Create’s a fly deploy token
  2. Create’s a github action secret in the current repository containing it (if github cli available - will print otherwise)
  3. Create .github/workflows/fly.yml file, with the trigger pointing to the current branch

Usage
The github repo is available here, but if you just want to get the job done:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sauercrowd/fly-github-actions-setup/main/setup.sh | bash -

Hope this can help someone else
