GitHub Actions is a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) and automation platform built right into GitHub. You’ll often hear people call these “action workflows” or just “workflows.” It allows you to automate repetitive tasks and deployment processes using YAML files stored in your repository. You might use GitHub Actions for tasks like running vulnerability scans, tests, creating releases, or even reminding your team about important updates. Action workflows are triggered by GitHub events like pushes, pull requests, or schedules, and they run in a virtual environment.
