GitHub Actions Deep Dive
Tuesday, 9:00 AM MDT - WAVERLY
In this full-day workshop, open-source author, trainer, and DevOps director Brent Laster will provide an extensive introduction to GitHub Actions. You’ll learn about the core parts and pieces that make up an action, as well as the types of functionalities and features they provide.
You’ll also see how to combine them in simple workflows to accomplish basic tasks as well as more advanced workflows to automate typical CI/CD and other tasks. And you’ll learn about
how to create and use your own actions, create and manage artifacts, and how to debug and secure your GitHub Action workflows.
This course will leverage hands-on, guided labs using GitHub and GitHub Actions so that participants can gain “real-world” experience with GitHub Actions.”
Workshop Requirements
This session is a workshop. Please come prepared.
The requirements for this workshop are minimal, but you will need a browser and an account on GitHub.com. A free account is fine, but please make sure to have set that up and have logged in. A basic working knowledge of Git and GitHub is helpful, but not absolutely necessary as we'll guide you through the hands-on work, step-by-step.
