Anyone attempted to make a devops pipeline with Github Actions and TabCmd? #311

I can only find very old examples of people attempting this online. I'm wondering if anyone that is active in Tabcmd project has done this before and could provide any examples. Here is my goal:

  1. We have two separate on-premise servers - tabsrv_test and tabsrv_prd
  2. I'd like to have a github repo with two branches: test and prd. These two branches would exactly mimic the folder structure in tableau.
  3. When a new tableau workbook is published to test branch, github actions uses tabcmd to publish the workbook. The same would occur when merged to master.

What I'm unsure about:

  1. Is this even possible
  2. How do you handle scheduling of extracts - separate yaml configuration file and tabcmd?
  3. seems like a bad idea for tableau extracts to host in github. Is there a way to work around this and use yaml configuration to handle it? Any recommendations?

Any advice or knowledge sharing here would be great. I'd be happy to share back if I get this working.
