Run Ende in GitHub Actions

Ende ships its formatter, linter, and test runner in the ende binary, so a CI pipeline needs little more than installing Ende and running the corresponding subcommands.

A minimal workflow

Ende’s install script installs it on the runner. This workflow checks formatting, lints, and runs tests on every push and pull request:

.github/workflows/ci.yml

name: CI

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Install Ende
        run: |
          curl -fsSL https://ende.sh/install.sh | sh
          echo "$HOME/.ende/bin" >> "$GITHUB_PATH"

      - run: ende ci # Install dependencies from the lockfile

      - run: ende fmt --check
      - run: ende lint
      - run: ende test --allow-all

The script installs the latest release. To pin one, pass its version: curl -fsSL https://ende.sh/install.sh | sh -s v2026.10.17.

Installing with a frozen lockfile

ende ci installs exactly what ende.lock records: it errors out if ende.lock is missing, and fails if ende.json changed without the lockfile being refreshed. That catches "bumped a version but forgot to commit the lockfile" mistakes before they reach production.

Note

ende ci requires a committed ende.lock. If your repository doesn’t have one yet, run ende install locally and commit the resulting lockfile.
