Wrote a comment to someone here but I thought of deciding to make a main comment here as well

Note that I don't really use github actions much but have heard about its architecture

From my understanding, I feel like Github actions should just be a call to some bash or python file. Bash has its issues so I prefer python

I recommend people to take a look at https://paulw.tokyo/standalone-python-script-with-uv/ and please tell me if something like this might be perfect for python scripts in github actions as this script would automatically install uv, get all the dependencies of python and even the runtime I think and then execute the python code all while being very managable usually and it can run locally as well

The only Issue I feel like I might have with this is say why go something with this complex when bash exists or the performance concerns of installing uv but considering its github actions, I feel like the latter is ruled out.

Bash is good as well but bash has some severe limitations. and I feel like Python can be good case for something like this plus its ecosystem is a bit mature and you could even create web servers or have some logs be reported to your custom server or automate just basically everything

To me this script feels like the best of both worlds and something genuinely sane to build upon.
