Elixir Vibe Actions

Shared GitHub Actions and reusable workflows for Elixir Vibe and Elixir Volt projects.

How our repositories present themselves — README structure, badges, descriptions, cross-linking — is codified in README-STYLE.md.

Reusable Elixir CI

name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, master]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main, master]

permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  ci:
    uses: elixir-vibe/actions/.github/workflows/elixir-ci.yml@v1

The default CI runs:

• Elixir 1.20 / OTP 29 with mix ci
• Elixir 1.19 / OTP 27 with mix compile --warnings-as-errors && mix test

Override commands when a repository needs custom checks:

jobs:
  ci:
    uses: elixir-vibe/actions/.github/workflows/elixir-ci.yml@v1
    with:
      latest-command: mix ci
      min-command: mix compile --warnings-as-errors && mix test

Reusable Rustler CI

Use this for Elixir projects that build Rustler NIFs or run Cargo checks:

name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, master]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main, master]

permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  ci:
    uses: elixir-vibe/actions/.github/workflows/elixir-rustler-ci.yml@v1
    with:
      rust-toolchain: stable
      rust-cache-workspaces: native/my_app_nif -> target
      extra-env: |
        MY_APP_BUILD=1

For projects with submodules or Ubuntu system package dependencies, pass them through the workflow inputs:

jobs:
  ci:
    uses: elixir-vibe/actions/.github/workflows/elixir-rustler-ci.yml@v1
    with:
      checkout-submodules: recursive
      apt-packages: libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev
      rust-cache-workspaces: native/my_app_nif -> target

For projects with multiple Rust crates, list each workspace:

jobs:
  ci:
    uses: elixir-vibe/actions/.github/workflows/elixir-rustler-ci.yml@v1
    with:
      rust-toolchain: "1.95.0"
      rust-profile: default
      rust-cache-workspaces: |
        . -> target
        native/my_app_lint_nif -> target
        native/my_app_fmt_nif -> target
      extra-env: |
        MY_APP_BUILD=1

Reusable Rustler precompiled release

Use this from tag-triggered release workflows that build rustler_precompiled archives:

name: Build precompiled NIFs

on:
  push:
    tags: ["v*"]

jobs:
  build_release:
    uses: elixir-vibe/actions/.github/workflows/elixir-rustler-release.yml@v1
    with:
      project-name: my_app_nif

Override jobs, nif-versions, project-dir, or cargo-args for repositories with custom target matrices.

Setup Elixir composite action

Use this when a repository needs custom jobs but wants the shared setup/cache steps:

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4
  - uses: elixir-vibe/actions/setup-elixir@v1
    with:
      elixir-version: "1.20"
      otp-version: "29"
  - run: mix ci
