Github Actions Testing

Exploring github actions in preparation for the hackathon.

Submitting an Action:

• Go to githubhackathon.com to submit the action.
• Your submitted Action must include a License file
• Your submitted Action must be published in a public repository owned by your GitHub account.
• Your submitted action must list you as the author in the git history.
• Your action must be Unique, which is defined as an Action used in more than 2 repositories with the second repository not being one created by the Action's author. The second repository also cannot approve the submission of more than one Hackathon-submitted Action.

Ideas:

• Serverless functions
• Slack Alerts
• Basically any task we do in Bamboo

Best Practices:

• Add versioning to releases of your action.
  • After committing, tag the changes with git tag -a -m "Some Release Message" v1
  • git push --follow-tags
