Preface

GitHub is more than just a platform for hosting and sharing code. With millions of developers from all over the world collaborating on projects of every type and size, it has become the beating heart of the open source community. With GitHub Actions, GitHub now has its own workflow platform that allows engineers and developers to automate all kinds of repetitive engineering tasks – from Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) to IssueOps, automatic issue triaging, and ChatOps.

This book will show you how to make the most of GitHub Actions in your day-to-day life. It is a practical book – so we will have you do as much as possible and explain the theory alongside the individual recipes.
