# Review, lint & publish with GitHub Actions

The following steps introduce the [GitHub action](https://github.com/tesslio/setup-tessl) to your repository. This action sets up `tessl` so it can be used for any CI/CD use case, such as auto-publishing plugins, linting or running skill reviews on PRs, etc.

If you're migrating your skill into Tessl's registry, using the GitHub action will automatically link your plugin to the repository, and all skills we previously indexed in the repository will be hidden and redirected to the plugins.\
\
See Tessl's [setup-tessl GitHub action](https://github.com/tesslio/setup-tessl) for additional options and information.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Create your workflow**

Create your workflow file in `.github/workflows` for your desired action. For example, [here's how you'd set up an auto-publish action](https://github.com/tesslio/setup-tessl?tab=readme-ov-file#publish-a-plugin-on-push).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Create an API Key**

Log into [Tessl](https://tessl.io/registry) on web UI, then navigate to [API keys](https://tessl.io/account/api-keys). Create a new API key. Copy the value as it will only be shown once.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Add your API Key as a Repository Secret**

In GitHub, navigate to your repo **Settings**, select **Secrets and variables**, under actions find **New Repository Secret**. Provide the name: `TESSL_TOKEN` and the value is the Tessl API key you procured in the earlier step.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Run your workflow**

Kick off your workflow by running the relevant trigger, or manually triggering from the UI if you enabled that in your workflow definition.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
