Github Runner Bash

Because the Docker solution is awaiting attention from the Github Actions team, this repository demonstrates a Github Runner via bash script on a Mac.

UPDATE: This does not work for containerised runs because Github Actions only supports container runs on Linux.

Quickstart

1. Create a Github Personal Access Token with the Repo Scope. This will be used to generate a token to register a GithubRunner.
2. If your Github Runner will talk to AWS, set up your AWS CLI and authenticate to your AWS account and store those credentials in the default profile.
3. Start the runner

   ./go run <github-repo-url> <github username>

   You will be prompted for your 'host' password. This is the Github Personal Access Token that you created in (1).
4. Trigger a pipeline in the <github-repo-url> and see it connect.
