Overview of GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions is a CI/CD service from GitHub that's used to build and release applications being developed in GitHub repositories. Essentially, GitHub Actions is similar to Azure Pipelines, where you can set up your build and release pipelines to automate the entire software development life cycle.

GitHub Actions was launched in early 2019 to provide a simple DevOps experience built into GitHub itself. GitHub Actions includes enterprise-grade features, such as support for any language with built-in, self-hosted agents for various OSes and container images.

It includes various pre-built workflow templates built by the community, which can make it easier for you to build your DevOps pipeline.

It is outside the scope of this book to talk about GitHub Actions in detail, but you can refer to the GitHub Actions documentation at https://github.com/features/actions to get started.
