Summary
In this chapter, you deepened your knowledge of workflows. You navigated through several examples that showed how webhook events can trigger GitHub Actions workflows. You also learned about the many ways keys can be used in a workflow file to authenticate it, such as GITHUB_TOKEN
and PATs. You wrote more complex workflows using contexts and expressions.
Finally, you read about workflow run logs, and you performed the steps to enable additional debugging, which will help you manage your workflow runs and debug any failures you may come across.
With the skills you have gathered from this chapter, you are ready to start practicing and creating workflow files to help automate everyday tasks. These skills will be very convenient when you dig into Chapter 5, Writing your Own Actions, which will guide you in creating actions from scratch.
