About GitHub Actions
GitHub Actions enables powerful, flexible, and automated software development workflows directly within your GitHub repository. It's event-driven, capable of running a series of commands after a specified event (like a `git push` or new issue creation) has occurred. Users can build, test, package, release, and deploy any project on any platform with workflows that support matrix builds, multi-container testing, and live logs. The GitHub Marketplace offers thousands of pre-built 'actions' to integrate with cloud providers, package managers, and third-party services, or you can create and share your own.
