GitHub Actions Runners

GitHub Actions Runners are in Beta. They run on Ubuntu x64 with out-of-the-box acceleration for C++ and Rust.

1. Connect GitHub

Log in to app.incredibuild.com.
Click Accelerate GitHub Actions.
Click Connect to GitHub, then install the Incredibuild app on your account:

Personal
Organization

Install on your personal GitHub account. Access is limited to your personal repos.

2. Select a repository and create a runner

Select the GitHub repository to accelerate, then click Create hosted build runner.

3. Update your workflow

To configure your GitHub Actions to use Incredibuild runners, change the runner label in your workflow YAML file under .github/workflows/. For example:

  jobs:
    build:
-     runs-on: ubuntu-24.04
+     runs-on: incredibuild-runner

Commit and push. The next time the workflow triggers, it runs on Incredibuild with caching enabled.

git add .github/workflows/ && git commit -m 'Use Incredibuild runners' && git push
