Kotlin DSL for GitHub Actions workflows is getting more and more mature! Version 0.11.0 is out, with proper docs, ability to define custom attributes/inputs and more. If you use GitHub Actions and don't really like YAML, I encourage you to give it a shot. Any feedback greatly appreciated! https://github.com/krzema12/github-actions-kotlin-dsl/releases/tag/v0.11.0

This is nice ❤️ .
Could you somehow bundle that with a Github action that regenerates the yamls "automagically" so that I never have to touch yaml? (besides for this initial "bootstrap")?

Then I'd just have

.github/workflows/update-workflows.yaml

containing something like

name: Update workflows
on:
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - .github/workflows-kt/**

jobs:
  update-workflows:
    uses: krzema12/update-workflows@v1

sure thing, you can create a workflow that "recompiles" the workflows to YAML 🙂 there's no dedicated support for it in the library, apart from writeToFile() function on Workflow object. I haven't myself yet automated YAML generation to that extent, but it's certainly doable. Please let me know once you have it working, then maybe we can document it in the library's docs for the convenience of others 🙂
