LazyGitHub: Shortcuts & Automations

Inject one-click shortcuts into GitHub pages: trigger workflows, post comments, dispatch actions and re-run failed checks.

LazyGitHub: Automate repetitive GitHub workflows directly from GitHub. LazyGitHub adds configurable actions throughout GitHub, allowing you to trigger workflows, create deployments, dispatch events, post comments, and automate common development tasks without leaving the page you're working on. Whether you're managing releases, coordinating deployments, running CI workflows, or operating internal tooling, LazyGitHub brings your team's automation closer to where work happens. • What You Can Do? -> Trigger GitHub Actions Workflows: Run workflows with pre-filled inputs gathered from the current GitHub context. -> Post Automated Comments: Create one-click actions that post comments, slash commands, status updates, or workflow instructions. -> Fire Repository Dispatch Events: Trigger custom automations and integrations using repository dispatch events with configurable payloads. -> Create Deployments: Create deployment records directly from GitHub using values derived from the current repository context. -> Collect Input at Runtime: Prompt for values when actions are executed, allowing a single configuration to support multiple use cases. -> Re-run failed checks and workflow runs with one click • Retry Failed Checks And Runs A retry icon appears next to each failed GitHub Actions check in the pull request merge box, with one more in the Checks header that re-runs all of them at once. The same icon appears next to failed runs in a repository's Actions list. Choose whether a retry re-runs only the failed jobs or the whole workflow. Which checks are failed is read from the GitHub API, never guessed from the page, and the page refreshes as soon as GitHub shows the new attempt. External CI statuses are left untouched. • Context-Aware Automation LazyGitHub can automatically extract values from GitHub pages and use them in actions. Supported sources include: -> Pull request metadata -> Branch names -> Repository information -> Comment content -> User-defined regex captures -> Runtime user input Actions can use these values to build workflow inputs, deployment parameters, comments, dispatch payloads, and more. • Powerful Configuration System LazyGitHub is designed to scale from a few personal shortcuts to complex team-wide automation. -> Conditional Logic: Route actions, workflows, and payloads dynamically based on extracted values. -> Layered Configuration: Define 1. Global defaults 2. Group-level overrides 3. Repository-specific customisation Configurations can inherit, extend, or completely replace behaviour at each level. -> Action Groups: Organise related actions into dropdown menus and reusable collections. -> Drag-and-Drop Organisation: Reorder actions, groups, repositories, and rules with intuitive drag-and-drop controls. • Built for Teams -> Import and export configurations as JSON -> Share automation setups across repositories and teams -> Duplicate actions and configurations instantly -> Filter actions by repository, author, or page context -> Control visibility based on repository state and custom rules -> Apply configuration changes instantly with hot reload • Privacy First: LazyGitHub runs entirely in your browser. -> No analytics -> No telemetry -> No external backend services Your data stays local, and communication occurs only with GitHub APIs required to perform the actions you configure. • Permissions 1. Storage — Save configuration and authentication settings 2. Execute GitHub API operations on your behalf • Getting Started 1. Install LazyGitHub 2. Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token 3. Connect your GitHub account 4. Configure actions or import a shared configuration Start with a few shortcuts, or build a complete automation layer tailored to your team's workflow.
