Semgrep | 🚨 Popular GitHub Action tj-actions/changed-files is compromised Popular GitHub Action tj-actions/changed-files has been compromised with a payload that appears to attempt to dump secrets, impacting thousands of CI pipelines.

Ever used #aws chime ? It is now deprecated. Honestly even with aws support we were switching to meet. I'm not sure this service was really used outside of aws. aws-news.com/article/0195...

No, runs stay forever. If you refer to the repo I'm thinking of, it was auto clean up because we had a weekly action cleaning them up ;)

Why would it be ?
Useful when you rename a workflow and you want to avoid confusion. Or when you test a workflow but you don't want to keep it because it just overloads the list of workflows.

#github is still missing an easy way to delete all runs of a workflow so here is a one liner

`gh run list --workflow my-workflow.yaml --json databaseId -q '.[].databaseId' | xargs -I{} gh run delete {}`

I agree it looks harder than it is. It just creates a temporary dir where it moves the source and runs terraform commands.
I like the inheritance it provides and the repo looks a lot like the gitops repo I'm using with #argocd. It helped me to remove the magic I had in Makefile for preprocessing.

You can use partial config developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/la... to define your variables and init your tf with it. Or this is natively supported with #opentofu opentofu.org/docs/languag...

Yes definitely #opentofu for personal and new projects. Still #terraform and #terragrunt for projects that can't be migrated yet. The only thing I want to see in opentofu now is the s3 lockfile to avoid dynamodb.

I don't really get why the default of #ECR pull through cache is to create repo on the fly. This doesn't work well with iac and it's also a security risk. I never add the ecr:CreateRepository policy out of the role used by #terraform docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/la... #aws

Work on open source projects that you use, check the open issues, understand the code, make some PR.

Creating a repository from a template - GitHub Docs You can generate a new repository with the same directory structure and files as an existing repository.

I've used cookie cutter in the past but I think the hardest part is to find the right balance between adding only what's useful and common and having many tailored templates.
