GitHub Actions: Automate Everything

GitHub Actions lets you automate your software development workflows directly in your repository.

Basic Workflow

name: CI
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20'
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test

Matrix Builds

strategy:
  matrix:
    node: [18, 20, 22]
    os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest]

Deploy to Vercel

deploy:
  needs: test
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
    - uses: amondnet/vercel-action@v25
      with:
        vercel-token: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}
        vercel-org-id: ${{ secrets.ORG_ID }}
        vercel-project-id: ${{ secrets.PROJECT_ID }}

Best Practices

Cache dependencies for faster builds
Use secrets for sensitive data
Run tests before deployment

Automate early and often!
