Understanding GitHub Actions

GitHub provides a wide range of tools and features to support CI/CD workflows. It offers a powerful marketplace of pre-built CI/CD actions, allowing developers to easily integrate popular tools and services into their workflows. GitHub Actions also enables the creation of custom workflows using YAML-based configuration files, providing flexibility and control over the entire CI/CD pipeline. By leveraging these tools, developers can automate code formatting, run unit tests, perform code reviews, and deploy applications seamlessly.

The following sections introduce the components of GitHub Actions with a running example.
