GraphQL Schema Checks with GitHub Actions

In a recent blog post, 4 Ways to Perform GraphQL Schema Checks with Inigo, we explored the benefits of data-driven GraphQL backward compatibility during schema checks and shared insights into when and where to run them.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce Inigo’s GraphQL Schema Checks GitHub Action—available now at GitHub. With this integration, schema changes and errors are surfaced directly in GitHub pull requests, enabling seamless checks for:

• Composition errors
• Linting issues
• Breaking changes

Why It’s a Game-Changer

Integrating schema checks into your GitHub pull request workflow means developers can catch errors earlier in the development process. By showing issues—like breaking changes—right alongside your code, this action dramatically improves developer experience and reduces the risk of introducing schema-breaking updates. For example, linting errors are displayed directly within GitHub:

How to Get Started

          username: ${{ secrets.INIGO_USERNAME }}
