From Zero to Hero: GitHub Actions

Learn how to use GitHub Actions and master CI/CD

GitHub Actions are used by millions of developers and thousands of companies around the world to automate software workflows and build world-class CI/CD pipelines. They allow developers to build, test and deploy their code, and they make code reviews, branch management and issue triaging work exactly the way each team wants. They have quickly become one of the most popular CI/CD tools, and knowledge of how to use them is a requirement for most jobs. In this course, Scott Sauber will teach what GitHub Actions are and how to use them to automate your workflows.
