Github Actions Pnpm CI

GitHub Actions pnpm CI

Use This Shape

Install the bundled assets as the default CI shape:

• .github/actions/prepare/action.yml from assets/prepare-action.yml
• .github/workflows/lint.yml from assets/workflows/lint.yml
• .github/workflows/test.yml from assets/workflows/test.yml
• .github/workflows/typecheck.yml from assets/workflows/typecheck.yml
• .github/workflows/build.yml from assets/workflows/build.yml
• .github/dependabot.yml from assets/dependabot.yml

Rules

• Keep remote actions pinned to full commit SHAs with the upstream semver tag in the same-line comment, for example # v6.0.2.
• Use pnpm/action-setup without a version input so it reads packageManager from package.json.
• Require packageManager to include pnpm integrity, for example pnpm@10.33.4+sha512....
• Enable pnpm store caching by default with actions/setup-node cache: pnpm.
• Cache only the pnpm store; do not cache node_modules.
• Use cache-dependency-path: pnpm-lock.yaml for single-package repos.
• For workspaces, use both pnpm-lock.yaml and pnpm-workspace.yaml in cache-dependency-path.
• Install with pnpm install --frozen-lockfile.
• Keep CI token permissions at contents: read unless a job truly writes to GitHub.
• Add concurrency to every workflow.
• Add Dependabot for github-actions only.

Adaptation

• If a script is missing, do not invent a command silently; first inspect package.json and use the closest existing script.
• If tests need Playwright, add pnpm exec playwright install --with-deps chromium before the test command.
• If a build needs dummy env vars, copy the repo-local pattern and keep secrets out of caches.
• If the repo already has user changes, preserve them and patch only the CI files needed.

Validation

Run these after installing or updating the files:

pnpm exec actionlint
git diff --check

If actionlint is not available in the repo, use pnpm dlx actionlint or the repo's existing actionlint command.
