actionlint

CodeRabbit’s guide to actionlint.

actionlint is a static checker for GitHub Actions workflow files.

CodeRabbit runs actionlint v1.7.12.

Files

We look for GitHub Action files specifically in the following directory:

• .github/workflows/**/*.yml
• .github/workflows/**/*.yaml

Configuration

Web UI

In your organization or repository settings, go to Reviews → Tools and turn the tool on or off with its toggle.

CodeRabbit runs actionlint with its default configuration.

When we skip actionlint

CodeRabbit will skip running actionlint when:

• No workflow files are found in .github/workflows/.
• actionlint is already running in GitHub workflows.
