Questions

What are GitHub Actions?
GitHub Actions is a CI/CD platform built into GitHub that lets you automate build, test, and deployment workflows. Workflows are defined in YAML files stored in the .github/workflows/ directory of your repository.
What triggers can I use for a workflow?
Common triggers include push (on code push), pull_request (on PR events), schedule (cron-based), workflow_dispatch (manual trigger), and release (on release creation). You can also filter by branch or path.
Is GitHub Actions free?
GitHub Actions is free for public repositories. Private repositories get 2,000 free minutes per month on the free plan, with additional minutes available on paid plans. Linux runners are the cheapest; macOS runners cost 10x more per minute.
How do I store secrets in a GitHub Actions workflow?
Add secrets in your repository settings under Settings > Secrets and Variables > Actions. Reference them in your workflow YAML with ${{ secrets.YOUR_SECRET }}. Secrets are encrypted and not exposed in logs.
Can I test GitHub Actions locally before pushing?
Use the open-source tool "act" to run GitHub Actions workflows on your local machine. It simulates the GitHub runner environment using Docker, letting you iterate faster without committing and pushing.
