Reusable CI/CD Pipelines with GitHub Actions

Harness CI integrates GitHub Actions to create reusable CI/CD pipelines, enhancing the efficiency, consistency, and scalability of software development by leveraging pre-defined workflows. This integration allows developers to automate processes, reduce duplication, and maintain code quality across the development lifecycle. By utilizing community plugins and exploring tools like act, developers can test actions locally, ensuring fast feedback and streamlined workflows. Harness CI, built on Drone, supports the execution of GitHub Actions from both public and private repositories, offering isolated build environments with preconfigured tools for simplified pipeline setup. Dewan Ahmed, a Principal Developer Advocate at Harness, is passionate about solving DevOps challenges and emphasizes the importance of reusable pipelines and automation in achieving effective CI/CD. His advocacy extends beyond his work, supporting underrepresented groups in tech and offering career coaching to give back to the community.
