GitHub Actions: A CI/CD Primer

Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) are essential practices for modern software development, enabling teams to deliver high-quality software faster and with greater confidence. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Actions simplifies the CI/CD process by automating testing, building, and deployment workflows directly within your GitHub repository.

You’ll learn the basics of setting up a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions, including how to create workflows triggered by events like code pushes or pull requests. We’ll also demonstrate how to integrate testing, linting, and deployment steps seamlessly into your development lifecycle.

Whether you’re a solo developer or part of a large team, GitHub Actions empowers you to reduce manual effort, catch bugs early, and ensure consistent deployments. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to leverage GitHub Actions to enhance your development workflow and ship better code, faster.

This talk is perfect for developers of all experience levels looking to adopt CI/CD practices or streamline their existing workflows
