Summary

Codefresh emphasizes collaboration and leveraging existing standards, using Docker containers as the foundation for its pipelines and plugins. Recently, GitHub introduced Actions, an automation tool that allows developers to trigger workflows based on Git events, which can be created as Docker images or with JavaScript. This aligns with Codefresh's model, as it enables developers to create GitHub actions in any language if packaged in a Docker container. Codefresh developed an open-source GitHub action that integrates with their platform, allowing Codefresh pipelines to be triggered by GitHub workflows, thereby combining GitHub's repository management and permissions with Codefresh's deployment capabilities. This setup facilitates interoperability between the two platforms, enabling Codefresh plugins to be used as GitHub actions and vice versa, expanding the plugin ecosystem significantly. The integration is already available in the GitHub Action marketplace, and Codefresh is planning further announcements related to this collaboration.
