Setting up GitHub Actions

Before we can understand GitHub Actions, we need to understand what CI/CD is. This is a process that allows us to automate the building, testing, and deployment of our code to production. CI/CD not only automates these processes but also integrates them into a single coherent pipeline. This ensures that code changes are more reliable and stable when deployed. The definition should emphasize the role of CI/CD in facilitating frequent and reliable updates. This is an especially important process as it aims to improve the speed, efficiency, and reliability of how we deliver our software.

Benefits of CI/CD

Let’s go through some of the benefits of CI/CD:

• Fast release cycles: CI/CD allows us to release our software faster and more frequently. This is because we are automating the process of building, testing, and deploying our code.
• Increased collaboration: Since a lot of the processes are automated, we can focus on the code and the features...
