Hi, I built a JetBrains plugin called Actionate that lets you run and inspect GitHub Actions directly inside the IDE instead of living in the Actions tab.

This post walks through the workflow I ended up with: viewing runs, full logs (no truncation), smart log navigation, jumping from logs into project files, manually triggering workflows, and inline autocomplete for workflow authoring.

I’d love feedback on whether this actually makes CI feel less like “another website” and more like a first-class part of the editor, and what’s still missing for your own workflows.
