Introduction to GitHub Actions

О курсе

GitHub Actions allows you to automate your software development workflows and seamlessly integrate with GitHub. This 2-hour long project will guide you through the fundamentals of GitHub Actions, helping you leverage its automation capabilities for your projects. We’ll start by overviewing the core components of Actions including workflow files, jobs, steps, and runners. You’ll learn how to monitor and trigger workflows based on events like pushing code. We’ll walk through creating a simple starter workflow YAML file that clones a repository, sets up a language, and builds an application. To apply what you've learned, you’ll create and customize a workflow for your own project using reusable open source actions from GitHub Marketplace. Whether you're new to GitHub Actions or looking to expand your skills, this project will equip you with the knowledge and hands-on practice to implement automation best practices. You’ll gain practical experience configuring Actions for continuous integration, deployment, and other tasks to boost your productivity.
