Blog post from GitHub
GitHub Actions provides a platform-native solution for automation and CI/CD within the GitHub ecosystem, offering developers the ability to streamline their workflows through both pre-built and custom actions. With capabilities like workflow visualization, dependency management, conditionals, secure data handling through secrets, and data sharing via artifacts, GitHub Actions enables the creation of complex workflows tailored to specific needs. Developers can further enhance their automation processes by utilizing contexts for accessing workflow information and setting up distinct environments for development, staging, and production, each with its own protection rules and secrets. These features collectively simplify the development experience, allowing for efficient and secure automation practices.
