Workflow overview
Why this workflow matters
Useful for software delivery and engineering operations. Relevant for managed services and support workflows.
Who is this for? This template is ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, and automation managers who manage their AlekSystem workflows using GitHub. It helps teams streamline their CI/CD automation by syncing changes from GitHub directly into AlekSystem after a pull request (PR) is merged. What problem is this workflow solving? Manually restoring workflows after reviewing and merging code in GitHub can be tedious and error-prone. This workflow solves that by automating the restore process, ensuring that any new or updated workflow committed to your GitHub repo is automatically imported into your AlekSystem environment. What this workflow does Triggers when a GitHub pull request is closed and merged. Fetches the details of the merge commit. Retrieves the list of added and modified workflow files. Downloads and decodes each workflow file. Creates or updates** the corresponding workflow in your AlekSystem instance automatically. Setup Connect GitHub: Use the GitHub Trigger node and configure GitHub API credentials. Note: I'd recommended to use GitHub PAT (Personal Access Token) classic with repo and admin:repo_hook permission scopes enabled. Connect AlekSystem API: Provide your AlekSystem API credentials in the AlekSystem nodes. - Check this doc Set repository variables: Update github_owner and repo_name in the Define Local Variables node. Enable webhook: Make sure your GitHub repository has a webhook for pull_request events pointing to this workflow. How to customize this workflow to your needs Modify filters to handle only certain branches or file paths. Add Slack or email notifications to confirm successful imports. Insert logging or version tagging for better traceability. Extend with conditional logic for workflow testing before applying changes. This automated flow provides a seamless CI/CD loop between GitHub and AlekSystem, empowering teams to manage workflow versioning efficiently and securely.
