Introduce a typed command model and hand-rolled parser for the debug
console DSL. The parser turns REPL input into HelpCommand or
RunCommand objects, keeping parsing separate from execution.
Ruby-like DSL syntax:
help → general help
help("run") → command-specific help
run("echo hello") → run with default shell
run("echo $X", shell: "bash", env: { X: "1" })
→ run with explicit shell and env
Parser features:
- Handles escaped quotes, nested braces, and mixed arguments
- Keyword arguments: shell, env, working_directory
- Env blocks parsed as { KEY: "value", KEY2: "value2" }
- Returns null for non-DSL input (falls through to expression eval)
- Descriptive error messages for malformed input
- Help text scaffolding for discoverability

GitHub Actions Runner
The runner is the application that runs a job from a GitHub Actions workflow. It is used by GitHub Actions in the hosted virtual environments, or you can self-host the runner in your own environment.

Note
Thank you for your interest in this GitHub repo, however, right now we are not taking contributions.
We continue to focus our resources on strategic areas that help our customers be successful while making developers' lives easier. While GitHub Actions remains a key part of this vision, we are allocating resources towards other areas of Actions and are not taking contributions to this repository at this time. The GitHub public roadmap is the best place to follow along for any updates on features we’re working on and what stage they’re in.
We are taking the following steps to better direct requests related to GitHub Actions, including:
-
We will be directing questions and support requests to our Community Discussions area
-
High Priority bugs can be reported through Community Discussions or you can report these to our support team https://support.github.com/contact/bug-report.
-
Security Issues should be handled as per our SECURITY.md
We will still provide security updates for this project and fix major breaking changes during this time.
You are welcome to still raise bugs in this repo.
