GitHub Actions Workshop by GitHub

Lift-off with GitHub Actions - it's not rocket-science (unless you use it for rockets). 🚀

Welcome to our GitHub Actions Workshop! It will teach you all the basics of GitHub Actions and beyond, so that you feel confident in automating your own workflows and deployments.

Our goal is to make GitHub Actions as easy to you as floating in space!

Following this workshop, you will create a set of GitHub Action workflows in order to test, release, secure and deploy the Rocketdex 🚀 - an awesome React-Application that lets you view and collect all your favorite rockets!

You will learn how to

  • run your first GitHub Action
  • use the Marketplace
  • create a complete and secure CI pipeline from scratch
  • deploy your application to Microsoft Azure (or another Cloud Provider of your choice)

Getting Started 🚀

  2. Give your new repository any name you like (for example <your-name>-gh-actions-workshop)
  3. Decide for an owner of the new repository (when in doubt, use your private GitHub account)
  4. Make it a Public repository so you don't use up any of your private action minutes
  5. Click Create repository from template
