Jenkins is open source and very well documented.

GitHub Actions are really for just short scripts. Don't take your Miata off road.

LOL, I worked on the Jenkins project paid for three years. Even they use actions to build Jenkins.

Jenkins! For the love of god don’t listen to this.

Always open to learning, what's wrong with Jenkins?

It's a bit bloated, but it's free and works.

Why is gha just for short scripts, out of interest?

It's just short on features.

I get the vibe it was never intended to seriously compete with real CI/CD systems.

But then people started using it as such, thus this thread is full of complaints.

What features is it missing that you would like to see it implement?
