Summary of Changes

Hello @assagman, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the developer experience by integrating GitHub Actions workflow management directly into the Makefile. It provides a set of new make targets that leverage the gh cli and fzf to offer interactive and streamlined ways to trigger, monitor, and manage various CI/CD workflows, improving efficiency for common development tasks.

Highlights

Interactive Release Trigger: Added wf-release target for interactively selecting release version types (patch, minor, major, auto) using fzf and triggering the release-pr.yml workflow, with an option for custom version input.
Workflow Management Targets: Introduced wf-publish to re-run failed release-publish.yml workflows, wf-ci to trigger ci.yml on the current branch, wf-list to view recent workflow runs, and wf-watch to monitor workflow progress.

Code Review

This pull request introduces several useful Makefile targets for interacting with GitHub Actions workflows using the gh CLI and fzf. The new targets for releasing, publishing, running CI, listing, and watching workflows are a great addition for developer convenience. My review focuses on improving the robustness of these new targets. I've pointed out a potential issue with handling cancellation in the interactive prompt and the fragility of using a fixed sleep duration, which could lead to race conditions.

Makefile

+# Trigger release PR workflow with interactive prompts
+wf-release:
+	@TYPE=$$(echo -e "auto\npatch\nminor\nmajor" | fzf --prompt="Version type: " --height=6 --reverse); \
+	if [ "$$TYPE" = "auto" ]; then \


If the user cancels the fzf prompt on the previous line (e.g., by pressing Esc), the TYPE variable will be empty. The script currently doesn't handle this case and proceeds to trigger the workflow with an empty version_type, which could lead to unexpected behavior or workflow failure. You should add a check to ensure TYPE is not empty before proceeding.

if [ -z "$$TYPE" ]; then exit 1; elif [ "$$TYPE" = "auto" ]; then \

Makefile

+	sleep 2; \
+	$(MAKE) wf-watch W=release-pr.yml


Using a fixed sleep 2 introduces a potential race condition. If the GitHub API is slow to create the new workflow run, wf-watch might start watching an older run instead of the one just triggered. While this might work most of the time, it's not fully reliable. For a more robust solution, you might consider implementing a polling mechanism to wait for the new run to appear before watching it. However, given the context of a Makefile helper, this might be an acceptable trade-off for simplicity.

gemini-code-assist · 2026-01-15T21:51:40Z

Makefile

+	@sleep 2
+	@$(MAKE) wf-watch W=release-publish.yml


Similar to other workflow-triggering targets, using a fixed sleep 2 here introduces a potential race condition. The wf-watch command might end up watching the wrong workflow if the new run isn't available in the API within 2 seconds. This approach is not fully reliable, although it may be a reasonable trade-off for simplicity in a Makefile.

gemini-code-assist · 2026-01-15T21:51:40Z

Makefile

+	@sleep 2
+	@$(MAKE) wf-watch W=ci.yml


The use of sleep 2 before watching the workflow creates a potential race condition. If the new workflow run isn't visible via the API within two seconds, wf-watch could attach to an older run. This is a fragile pattern, though it might be an acceptable simplification for a developer tool.

Makefile

+# Trigger CI workflow on current branch
+wf-ci:
+	gh workflow run ci.yml --ref $(shell git branch --show-current)


The ci.yml workflow does not have workflow_dispatch trigger configured, so it cannot be manually triggered. The workflow only runs on push/pull_request events. Add workflow_dispatch: to the workflow's on: section in .github/workflows/ci.yml for this target to work.

Suggested change

# Trigger CI workflow on current branch

wf-ci:

gh workflow run ci.yml --ref $(shell git branch --show-current)

# Re-run CI workflow: make wf-ci [RUN=<run-id>]

wf-ci:

$(if $(RUN),\

gh run rerun $(RUN),\

gh run rerun --failed -w ci.yml)

Makefile

+# Workflows (requires gh cli + fzf)
+# Trigger release PR workflow with interactive prompts
+wf-release:
+	@TYPE=$$(echo -e "auto\npatch\nminor\nmajor" | fzf --prompt="Version type: " --height=6 --reverse); \


Missing error handling if fzf is cancelled (Ctrl+C or ESC). When a user cancels fzf, TYPE will be empty and the workflow will still be triggered with an empty version type. Add a check after the fzf call to exit if TYPE is empty.

Suggested change

@TYPE=$$(echo -e "auto\npatch\nminor\nmajor" | fzf --prompt="Version type: " --height=6 --reverse); \

@TYPE=$$(echo -e "auto\npatch\nminor\nmajor" | fzf --prompt="Version type: " --height=6 --reverse); \

if [ -z "$$TYPE" ]; then \

echo "Release workflow cancelled."; \

exit 1; \

Makefile

+	$(if $(RUN),\
+		gh run watch $(RUN),\
+		gh run watch $(shell gh run list $(if $(W),-w $(W)) -L 1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId'))


The command will fail silently if no workflow runs exist (the jq query '.[0].databaseId' returns null for empty arrays). Add error handling to check if a run exists before calling gh run watch.

Suggested change

$(if $(RUN),\

gh run watch $(RUN),\

gh run watch $(shell gh run list $(if $(W),-w $(W)) -L 1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId'))

@if [ -n "$(RUN)" ]; then \

gh run watch $(RUN); \

else \

RUN_ID=$$(gh run list $(if $(W),-w $(W)) -L 1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId'); \

if [ -z "$$RUN_ID" ]; then \

echo "No workflow runs found to watch." >&2; \

exit 1; \

fi; \

gh run watch $$RUN_ID; \
