What is GitHub Actions?

GitHub Actions is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform that allows you to automate your workflow in the same place you store code and collaborate on reviews.

Key Features

CI/CD Pipelines

Build, test, and deploy code with customizable workflows triggered by GitHub events.

Event Triggers

Automate actions based on push/pull events, issue creation, or scheduled intervals.

Marketplace

Access thousands of pre-built actions from the Actions Marketplace to accelerate your workflows.

Self-hosted Runners

Run workflows on custom infrastructure for full control over execution environments.

Security

Protect pipelines with branch policies, required status checks, and secure secrets management.

Scalability

Handle complex workflows with matrix strategies, parallel jobs, and artifact caching.

Common Use Cases

Build & Test

Automate compiling code, running unit tests, and checking for code quality issues.

Deployment

Deploy apps to cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Heroku with automated rollback capabilities.

Code Review

Enforce quality standards with automated linting, type-checking, and style enforcement.

Release Management

Automatically generate release notes, version numbers, and package dependencies.
