Sometimes you're working on a repo and you don't want to clone it down to your local machine, init npm, install some packages and then push it all back up.

Now there's NPM Worker. A Github Action that lets you init, install, update, and uninstall npm package on your repo. All from a single configuration file.

It also supports logging activity to an issue, so you can see what's changed from a glance.

mudlabs / npm-worker

Manage node packages on your Github Action repository.

Requirements

You must include the YAML configuration file in your repository. If you don't specify its path to the config key in your workflow, the action will try to find it in your .github directory and then in root (./) .

Any of the following are accepted config file names.

• npmworker.config.yaml
• npmworker.config.yml
• npm.worker.config.yaml
• npm.worker.config.yml
