Getting started

Quickstart

Faster, Cheaper, Greener GitHub Actions in three simple steps.

1. Sign in & connect up GitHub

Open the CarbonRunner dashboard and grant the permissions we need to execute your GitHub Action jobs on our carbon-aware infrastructure.

2. Update your `runs-on` line

Update your workflow’s runs-on line to use CarbonRunner. We’ll pick up the PR checks automatically — that run will be the first you see in the dashboard.
