Dump Contexts Markdown

Dumps GitHub Actions contexts for debugging and exploring undocumented fields to be used in advanced GitHub Actions workflows.

Dumps for:

  • Linux (Ubuntu latest inside container for max info including Docker)
  • macOS latest - you'll want this to reference for iOS mobile development CI/CD reference

Uses my GitHub-Actions Reusable Workflows Library where there is much more interesting and advanced stuff.

Specific Contexts

Available context information changes depending on the context that triggered the workflow, so you will likely need to check and compare these more specific context dumps:

Dump Contexts Push - Push Contexts

Dump Contexts Pull Request - Pull Request Contexts

Dump Contexts Workflow Dispatch - Workflow Dispatch Contexts (Manual trigger)

Dump Contexts Schedule - Schedule Contexts
