Description

https://github.com/sbt/sbt-github-actions

sbt-typelevel made its own fork of sbt-github-actions when it was in a lull, and I was moving fast. Since then @mdedetrich has revived maintenance on the upstream plugin, which is now published under sbt org. The original intent was always to reconcile with upstream, and now the time has come.

For this to be successful, we will need to:

  1. upstream our changes in the fork (several have already been upstreamed)
  2. re-integrate sbt-typelevel with the upstream plugin
  3. have a dedicated maintainer on the upstream plugin, to review PRs in context of how we use the plugin in sbt-typelevel

The benefits will be shared maintenance with the wider community and access to several interesting features happening upstream (e.g., customizable workflow permissions, multiple workflow files, etc.).

Research direction

Start by comparing the sbt-typelevel fork with https://github.com/sbt/sbt-github-actions, then review how the current plugin is integrated in this repository. Done means the fork's remaining changes are upstreamed, sbt-typelevel uses the upstream plugin, and a dedicated upstream maintainer is identified.
