An Action shows timeline of a GitHub Action workflow in the run summary page.

actions-timeline is a tool that allows developers to visualize the sequence of jobs and steps that occur during a GitHub Actions workflow. By examining the timeline, you can quickly identify any issues or bottlenecks in your workflow, and make adjustments as needed to improve performance and efficiency.

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    # Register this action before your build step. It will then be executed at the end of the job post-processing.
    - uses: Kesin11/actions-timeline@v0
      with:
        # e.g.: ${{ secrets.MY_PAT }}
        # Default: ${{ github.token }}
        github-token: ''

    # Your build steps...

If your workflow has many jobs, you should run actions-timeline in the job that takes the most time, or create an independent job for actions-timeline in a last of the workflow.

jobs:
  build-1:
  build-2:
  build-3:
  
  action-timeline:
    needs: [build-1, build-2, build-3]
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: Kesin11/actions-timeline@v0

actions-timeline fetches the jobs and steps of the workflow run from the GitHub API, and then generates a timeline with mermaid gantt diagrams. Thanks to the GitHub flavored markdown that can visualize mermaid diagrams, the timeline is displayed in the run summary page.

This action is run on post-processing of the job, so you should register this action before your build step. If you register this action after your build step, the timeline will not include other post-processing steps.

You can set GITHUB_API_URL environment variable to use this action with GHES.

- uses: Kesin11/actions-timeline@v0
  env:
    GITHUB_API_URL: 'https://github.example.com/api/v3'
