quicksheet-gha

GitHub Actions workflow status on your desktop wallpaper — no browser tab needed.

A QuickSheet extension that shows live GitHub Actions workflow run statuses for any public (or private, with a token) repository.

Usage

In any QuickSheet cell:

gha: owner/repo

gha: cemheren/QuickSheet, 8

The second parameter controls how many runs to display (default: 10, max: 20).

Auth (optional — private repos + higher rate limits)

The GitHub API allows ~60 unauthenticated requests/hour. For private repos or to increase the rate limit, set a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here

Or add it to your shell profile. The extension picks it up automatically.

Install

ext: github:Deskworks/quicksheet-gha

In a QuickSheet cell. QuickSheet will clone, build, and register the extension automatically.

Requirements

• QuickSheet v0.1.0+
• .NET 9 SDK
• Internet access (uses api.github.com)

How it works

• Calls GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/runs via the free GitHub REST API v3
• Caches results for 5 minutes to avoid rate-limiting
• Runs are sorted newest-first by GitHub's API
• Zero NuGet dependencies — pure .NET 9 HttpClient
