Description

A comprehensive linter and security validator for GitHub Actions workflow files that catches real security issues beyond GitHub's built-in validation:

  • Secrets management — compliance with secrets handling patterns
  • Audit logging — tracks workflow configuration changes

Why it fits awesome-actions

✓ Actively maintained and open source (MIT)
✓ Solves real security pain points for GitHub Actions users
