alt Hacker NewsCan someone share a Github bot that doesn't depend on actions?
I mean maybe https://github.com/rust-lang/bors is enough to fully replace Github Actions? (not sure)

We have internal integrations with GitHub webhooks that will hit our server to checkout a branch, run some compute, and then post a comment on the thread. Not sure if you can integrate something like that to help block a PR from being merged like Actions CI checks, but you can receive webhooks and make API calls for free (for now). Would definitely result in some extra overhead to implement outside of Actions for some tasks.

You can use webhooks to replace Github Actions: https://docs.github.com/en/webhooks/about-webhooks
Listen to webhooks for new commits + PRs, and then use the commit status API to push statuses: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/commits/statuses?apiVersion=...
