This PR adds a comprehensive .github/copilot-instructions.md file that provides GitHub Copilot coding agents with detailed instructions for working effectively in the git2jamf codebase.

What's Included

The instructions cover all essential development workflows:

  • Setup and Bootstrap: Exact commands for Python dependency installation (validated to take ~5 seconds)
  • Build and Test: Complete linting workflow using flake8 with proper timeout expectations (<1 second)
  • Repository Structure: Detailed breakdown of all key files and their purposes
  • Development Workflow: Step-by-step process for making changes safely
  • Validation Procedures: How to test changes without requiring Jamf Pro credentials

Key Features

  • Validated Commands: Every command has been tested and timed to ensure accuracy
  • Docker Build Warnings: Documents that Docker builds may fail in sandboxed environments due to network connectivity issues
  • Environment Variable Reference: Complete list of expected inputs for understanding the action's behavior
  • Troubleshooting Guide: Common issues and their solutions

Validation Results

All instructions have been thoroughly validated:

  • ✅ Python dependencies install correctly (pip3 install -r requirements.txt)
  • ✅ Linting works as expected (python3 -m flake8)
  • ✅ Action script executes and fails gracefully without credentials
  • ✅ Repository structure documentation is accurate
  • ❌ Docker build documented to fail in constrained environments (expected behavior)

The instructions follow an imperative tone and provide specific timeout recommendations to prevent premature cancellation of long-running operations.

Fixes #12.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

  • test.jamfcloud.com
    • Triggering command: python3 action.py (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:
