How to automate a Microsoft Power Platform deployment using GitHub Actions

Low-code technology has made it easier for developers and non-developers alike to deploy applications, with Microsoft Power Platform providing a suite of tools for building custom solutions using low-code methods. GitHub, a platform for managing and delivering code, offers GitHub Actions, a powerful automation tool that enhances continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) by allowing developers to automate tasks like building, testing, and deploying code. GitHub Actions supports both pre-built and custom actions, facilitating workflow creation and making it possible to automate Power Platform deployments efficiently. Automating deployments with GitHub Actions ensures consistency, reduces human error, and boosts productivity by enabling version control, collaboration, and integration with GitHub tools such as GitHub Advanced Security. The blog post by April Yoho, a senior developer advocate and DevOps practice lead at GitHub, emphasizes the benefits of automation in deployment processes and provides resources and tutorials for implementing these practices.
