GitHub Action Rerunner

• Try it out
• GitHub

A web application that delegates permission to team members to directly rerun failed GitHub Actions.

🎯 Why was it created?

When GitHub Actions fail, you need Write permission for the repository to rerun them. However, for security reasons, it's difficult to give Write permission to all team members.

GitHub Action Rerunner solves this problem. Once the repository owner registers a token, team members can rerun failed Actions for PRs assigned to them, allowing them to restart CI/CD without direct repository permissions!

ENCRYPTION_KEY="your-32-character-encryption-key"

3. Create GitHub OAuth App
