GitHub Statuses

Blocks for creating and managing GitHub commit statuses for CI/CD integration.

Github Create Status

What it is

Creates a new commit status in a GitHub repository

How it works

This block creates a commit status using the GitHub Status API. Commit statuses are simpler than check runs and appear as colored indicators (pending yellow, success green, failure red, error red) on commits and pull requests.

Provide a context label to differentiate this status from others, an optional target URL for detailed results, and a description. Multiple statuses can exist on the same commit with different context labels.

Inputs

Input	Description	Type	Required
repo_url	URL of the GitHub repository	str	Yes
sha	The SHA of the commit to set status for	str	Yes
state	The state of the status (error, failure, pending, success)	"error" | "failure" | "pending" | "success"	Yes
target_url	URL with additional details about this status	str	No
description	Short description of the status	str	No
check_name	Label to differentiate this status from others	str	No

Outputs

Output	Description	Type
error	Error message if the operation failed	str
status	Details of the created status	StatusResult

Possible use case

External CI Integration: Report build status from CI systems that don't have native GitHub integration.

Deployment Tracking: Set commit statuses to indicate deployment state (pending, deployed, failed).

Required Status Checks: Create statuses that GitHub branch protection rules require before merging.
