But we cannot just leave it there; we must make sure you also know how to deploy your template from GitHub since the book's code snippets are in GitHub after all.
In this chapter, you will learn how to create a GitHub action that deploys your Bicep template in your Azure subscription. We will cover the following main topics:
- Creating a GitHub action
- Adding validation steps to the workflow
