GitHub Actions Tutorial

Introduction

Welcome to this tutorial exploring the basics of GitHub Actions. Action is a workflow automation service that lets you automate your software development process.

Workflow Definition

You define your workflow using YAML files within the GitHub Actions documentation. These files describe the steps in your automation.

Let's create a simple workflow that builds a React app:

Workflow Example

Here's a basic example:

                ```yaml
                name: My First App
                description: A simple React application.
                version: 1.0.0
                jobs:
                  build:
                    runs-on: ubuntu-2004
                    steps:
                      - name: Install dependencies
                        uses: actions/install-dependencies@0.8.0
                        inputs:
                          language: javascript
                        timeout: 10

                      - name: Run tests
                        uses: actions/test-play@0.1.0
                        inputs:
                          test_command: chai
                        timeout: 30

                      - name: Build the app
                        uses: actions/build-app@@0.1.0
                        inputs:
                          package: node
                        timeout: 30
                ```
