This repository is a demonstration of GitHub Actions setup for automated workflows. GitHub Actions enables you to automate various tasks such as testing, building, and deploying your code directly within your GitHub repository.
This repository includes a simple workflow that triggers on push events to the main branch. The workflow consists of the following steps:
Checkout Code: This step checks out your repository code, making it available for subsequent actions.
Run Tests: This step executes your test suite, ensuring that your code meets the specified quality and functionality standards.
Build: If applicable, this step performs any necessary build processes for your project.
Deploy (Optional): If your project involves deployment, this step can be configured to deploy your application to a specified environment.
To get started with GitHub Actions in your own project, follow these steps:
Create .github/workflows
Directory: In your repository, create a .github/workflows
directory to store your workflow files.
Define Workflow YAML File: Create a YAML file within the workflows
directory, defining your workflow steps, triggers, and any necessary configurations. You can use the provided main.yml
file in this repository as a reference.
Customize Workflow: Tailor the workflow to fit the specific needs of your project. You can add or remove steps, adjust triggers, and configure environment variables.
Commit and Push: Commit your changes and push them to your main branch. GitHub Actions will automatically detect the new workflow and start executing it based on the defined triggers.
Here's a simplified example of a workflow file (main.yml
):
