Running Test Suits\n  - Building Images\n  - Compiling static sites\n  - Deploying code to servers\n\n- GitHub Actions files are defined as **YAML** files located in the _.github/workflow_ folder in the repo.\n\n- GitHub Actions has **templates** that one can use.\n\n- Can have multiple **workflows** in repo triggered by different events.\n\n## Tasks to automate\n\nThe following tasks are up for automation:\n\n- Ensure the code passes all unit tests\n- Perform code quality and compliance checks to make sure the source code meets the organization's standards\n- Check the code and its dependencies for known security issues\n- Build the code integrating new source from (potentially) multiple contributors\n- Ensure the software passes integration tests\n  Version the new build\n- Deliver the new binaries to the appropriate filesystem location\n- Deploy the new binaries to one or more servers\n- If any of these tasks don't pass, report the issue to the proper individual or team for resolution\n\n## The Components of GitHub Actions\n\n![Components](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/github/github-actions-automate-tasks/media/github-actions-workflow-components.png)\n\n## Explanation of Components\n\n- GitHub Actions **workflows** can be **triggered by events** in a repository, such as a pull request or an issue being created.\n- A workflow consists of one or more **jobs**.\n- Jobs can run _sequentially_ or in _parallel_.\n- Each job runs in its own **virtual machine runner** or a container.\n- Jobs contain steps that either:\n  - Run a **script** defined by the user.\n  - Run an **action**, which is a reusable extension to simplify the workflow.\n\n### Workflows\n\n- A workflow is an automated process that you add to your repository.\n\n- A workflow needs to have at least one job, and different events can trigger it.\n\n- You can use it to build, test, package, release, or deploy your repository's project on GitHub.\n\n### Events\n\n- An event is a specific activity in a repository that triggers a workflow run.\n\n- The **on** attribute specifies the **event trigger** to be used.\n\n- There are 35+ event triggers:\n\n- Examples:\n  - **Pushes**: Trigger an action on any push to the repo\n  - **Pull Request**: Run actions when pull request are opened, updated or merged\n  - **Issues**: Execute actions based on issue activities, like creation or labeling\n  - **Release**: Automate workflows when a new release is published\n  - **Schedule Events**: Schedule actions to run at specific times\n  - **Manual Triggers**: Allow manual triggering of actions through the GitHub UI.\n\n### Jobs\n\n- A job is a set of steps in a workflow executed on the same runner.\n\n  - Each step can either be a shell script or an action.\n\n  - Steps are executed sequentially and can share data between them since they run on the same runner.\n\n- Jobs can be configured to run independently or have dependencies on other jobs. By default, jobs run in parallel unless a dependency is specified.\n\n- For example, multiple build jobs can run in parallel, and a packaging job can depend on their successful completion.\n\n### Actions\n\n- An action is a reusable application for the GitHub Actions platform that performs complex but repetitive tasks.\n\n- Actions help reduce repetitive code in workflows, such as setting up the build environment or authentication.\n\n- You can create custom actions or use actions available in the GitHub Marketplace.\n\n- - There are three types of github actions:\n\n  - Container Actions\n  - JavaScript Actions\n  - Composite Actions\n\n- With **container actions**, the environment is part of the action's code. These actions can only be run in a Linux environment that GitHub hosts. Container actions support many different languages.\n\n- **JavaScript actions** don't include the environment in the code. You'll have to specify the environment to execute these actions. You can run these actions in a VM in the cloud or on-premises. JavaScript actions support Linux, macOS, and Windows environments.\n\n- **Composite actions** allow you to combine multiple workflow steps within one action. For example, you can use this feature to bundle together multiple run commands into an action, and then have a workflow that executes the bundled commands as a single step using that action.\n\n### Runners\n\n- A runner is a server that executes workflows when triggered.\n\n- Each runner runs a single job at a time.\n\n- GitHub provides runners for Ubuntu Linux, Microsoft Windows, and macOS, each running on a newly provisioned virtual machine.\n\n- GitHub also offers larger runners for more demanding workloads.\n\n- Alternatively, you can host your own runners for custom operating systems or specific hardware needs.\n\n## Recommendations when using GitHub Actions\n\n- Review the action's `action.yml` file for inputs, outputs, and to make sure the code does what it says it does.\n\n- Check if the action is in the GitHub Marketplace. This is a good check, even if an action does not have to be on the GitHub Marketplace to be valid.\n\n- Check if the action is verified in the GitHub Marketplace. This means that GitHub has approved the use of this action. However, you should still review it before using it.\n\n- Include the version of the action you're using by specifying a Git ref, SHA, or tag\n\n## References\n\n- [GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/about-github-actions/understanding-github-actions)\n\n- [Exam Pro](https://www.exampro.co/github-actions)\n\n- [Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/github-actions-automate-tasks/?source=docs)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcoder7475%2Fgithub-actions","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcoder7475%2Fgithub-actions","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcoder7475%2Fgithub-actions/lists"}
