It's clear we've all wrestled with GitHub actions and Jenkins in some shape or form. Debugging them can feel like being in an escape room, without any clues.

I work at Trunk.io and we have a tool called CI Debugger. It helps you understand your workflows. Instead of getting lost in logfiles and commits, you can pinpoint where things are bogging down or going haywire. It can give you a clearer picture of what's happening under the hood. Like having a heat map for the CI/CD processes.

@aselop, We encountered this problem as well. That's why we created Merge Graphs. Check out this blog: https://trunk.io/blog?post=trunk-merge

When merge queues are still not enough, you need merge graphs.

This is my favourite so far:

self reveal: the more I dislike someone, the more I find commonality with them :p

Love this. What’s the best split? I guess it depends on where you are in the dev cycle.

Sometimes the 'cheeriest' people are the most depressed. I think Robin Williams is a prime example.
