GitHub Actions 101

Actions is a CI/CD automation platform built natively within GitHub SCM. Check out the official introduction to GitHub Actions docs article to learn more. Here's the high-level gist of what Actions is:

GitHub Actions uses script automation to automate core CI/CD activities (code scan, code compilation, e2e testing, packaging, deployment), a vast variety of SCM activities within GitHub, and a another vast variety of activities that take place outside of GitHub. Learn about events that trigger GitHub Actions automation here.
• Automate with workflows. Automation scripts or pipelines are called "workflows" and are written and stored in YAML as a workflow file in the .github/w
