# Gitea Actions
|
|
|
|
Starting with Gitea **1.19**, Gitea Actions are available as a built-in CI/CD solution.
|
|
|
|
## Name
|
|
|
|
It is similar and compatible to [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions), and its name is inspired by it too.
|
|
To avoid confusion, we have clarified the spelling here:
|
|
|
|
- "Gitea Actions" (with an "s", both words capitalized) is the name of the Gitea feature.
|
|
- "GitHub Actions" is the name of the GitHub feature.
|
|
- "Actions" could refer to either of the above, depending on the context. So it refers to "Gitea Actions" in this document.
|
|
- "action" or "actions" refer to some scripts/plugins to be used, like "actions/checkout@v4" or "actions/cache@v3".
|
|
|
|
## Runners
|
|
|
|
Just like other CI/CD solutions, Gitea doesn't run the jobs itself, but delegates the jobs to runners.
|
|
The runner of Gitea Actions is called [act runner](https://gitea.com/gitea/act_runner), it is a standalone program and also written in Go.
|
|
It is based on a [fork](https://gitea.com/gitea/act) of [nektos/act](http://github.com/nektos/act).
|
|
|
|
Because the runner is deployed independently, there could be potential security issues.
|
|
To avoid them, please follow two simple rules:
|
|
|
|
- Don't use a runner you don't trust for your repository, organization or instance.
|
|
- Don't provide a runner to a repository, organization or instance you don't trust.
|
|
|
|
For Gitea instances used internally, such as instances used by enterprises or individuals, neither of these two rules is a problem, they are naturally so.
|
|
However, for public Gitea instances, such as [gitea.com](https://gitea.com), these two rules should be kept in mind when adding or using runners.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
Gitea Actions is still under development, so there may be some bugs and missing features.
|
|
And breaking changes may be made before it's stable (v1.20 or later).
|
|
|
|
If the situation changes, we will update it here.
|
|
