I agree. I am working on a video game and decided to use no dependencies (at all!). It has been such a joy to code.



I’ve been writing a bunch of GitHub actions lately and immediately fell into the habit of just using someone else’s action in each step.

I went back and rewrote almost everything to remove dependencies and I just write little shell scripts to do what I need rather than relying on someone else’s little shell script that hasn’t been touched it 2 years.

The fewer dependencies, the better I can sleep at night.

This is my shared workflow which I apply to few dozens of projects in my company. Works like a charm! Extremely simple and understandable script. Build times are mere seconds (when cache works).

I tried to understand this whole github actions stuff but decided that I don't need all that complexity.
