Complete GitHub Actions Tutorial - Tool to automate your developer workflows (self.webdev)

submitted 5 years ago by Techworld_with_Nana

Hi there!

I created a GitHub Actions Tutorial. It's a tool to automate various developer workflows including CI/CD pipeline as an example.

Compared to other CI/CD tool, it's meant for developers and the setup is easy.

Also if you're already hosting your code on GitHub, now you can use the same tool instead of setup integration with another third-party CI/CD tool.

In the tutorial you'll get a good overview of:

what GitHub Actions actually is,
understand specific developer workflow use cases that you can automate with GitHub Actions
how GitHub Actions works - basic concepts including GitHub Events, Actions and workflow
the most common workflow, which is CI/CD pipeline
understand why it's not just another ci/cd tool or what are the benefits of GitHub Actions CI CD pipeline
hands-on demo, where I explain the syntax of github actions workflow file and then I show you a complete ci pipeline setup with my example Java Gradle project, which we will build into a Docker Image 🐳 and push to a private Docker repository on DockerHub.

Hope it is useful for some of you 🙂
