CI/CD with GitHub Actions

Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) are the accepted path to rapidly and reliably delivering software and implementing the best practices of DevOps. Having an automated, easy-to-use CI/CD process is crucial for success of any software development lifecycle today.

GitHub Actions is the popular automation platform that integrates with your GitHub repositories to easily provide Continuous Integration/Delivery/Deployment and more. If you're someone working with GitHub, there is a significant benefit to using this automation platform integrated in the GitHub ecosystem.
