SSH access to Windows/Linux/MacOS/BSD runners

GitHub offers unlimited and free CI minutes to all public repositories.

This repository contains a GitHub workflow spawning jobs for all available public runners, with ssh access to them using action-tmate.

1. Fork this repo
2. Enable actions on your fork: Actions -> enable
3. Trigger a workflow manually: Actions -> build.yml -> Run workflow (master)
4. Go to any job, see the ssh command, and connect using your GitHub ssh key
5. Jobs will timeout after 6 hours, or end once you logout from the machine

NOTE: for bsd runners, you get an access to linux runner, and need to use ssh freebsd, ssh netbsd or ssh openbsd to access VM.

NOTE: for windows runners, tmate forces a MINGW64 shell by default. Use bash (without parameters) another time to access correct environment.

Supported x86_64 runners:

• freebsd (using freebsd-vm)
• macos-15-intel
• netbsd (using netbsd-vm)
• openbsd (using openbsd-vm)
• ubuntu-24.04
• windows-2025 (msys2 mingw64, ucrt64 and clang64 environments)

Supported arm64 runners:

• ubuntu-24.04-arm
• macos-26
• windows-11-arm (msys2 clangarm64 environment)

This repository is mostly used to provide runners for QEMU, thus it install build dependencies and clone its repo by default.
