GitHub Actions

GitHub's integrated CI/CD and automation platform that runs YAML-defined workflows in response to repository events.

Definition

Workflows in .github/workflows contain jobs that run on GitHub-hosted or self-hosted runners; jobs contain steps that run commands or reusable actions from the Marketplace. Actions also automates issue triage, releases, and more.

Example

on: pull_request -> jobs.test.runs-on: ubuntu-latest -> steps: checkout, setup-python, pytest

Exam tip

Workflows must be in .github/workflows; know the hierarchy workflow > jobs > steps.
