Launch a Debugging Terminal into GitHub Actions

There are many tools and techniques like this. Not a nock against this tool, just an observation that we seemingly need these tools.

Is there no better way, GitHub?

That's my hill to die on : you must have a self hosted agent.

You can have many cloud agents as you wish but you must at least have one where you can remotely connect.

It has saved me hours of troubleshooting and polluting "workflow v1.3.56_final_should_work_2" commits

I love this use of hole punching, also love how the author handled authentication.

I have definitely been in the position of needing to tweak a workflow over and over to get it to work, wasting hours when a terminal into the action would have allowed me to close the loop in minutes. Nice work to the author!

Author here, this was something I wrote for fun/because I wanted to use it. Happy to answer any questions
