Hukum is an NPM module that displays Github Action (GA) progress in the terminal. It works for workflows that run when a commit is pushed to Github repo. Once a commit is pushed, Hukum will print status updates in realtime.
Hukum aims to improve your development experience with immediate feedback of the GA Workflow in your terminal.
npm install --global hukum
hukumHukum uses Github Actions API to get the related workflow to the recent git push and its status. It keeps on calling the APIs every 1 second to update the status on the terminal.
Below is a sample output for one of the workflows.

Hukum can work out of the box without any configuration. However, it provides a few configuration options. Include a .hukumrc file in your home directory or the root of the project with the following contents or set the below environment variables.
{
"github": {
"token": "<token>"
}
}// .hukumrc
{ "github": { "token": "<token>" } }# environment variable
HUKUM_GITHUB_TOKEN=<token>Hukum uses Github Actions API. It is possible to use these APIs without any authentication for public repositories. However, for unauthenticated requests, the rate limit allows for up to 60 requests per hour (Details at docs.github.com) which can exhaust quickly. Authenticated requests have higher limits, up to 5000 requests per hour.
You can follow these steps at docs.github.com to create a personal token. The token does not need to have any specific scope for public repositories. However, the token needs to have repo - Full control of private repositories scope for private repositories.
