Github Actions
GitHub Actions is a Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment workflow manager made by the code repository hosting service GitHub. GitHub was a little late in the CI/CD pipeline management compared to its competitor GitLab and the good old Jenkins. After a beta testing period, the service opened in 2018.
GitHub Actions is fully integrated with the service, accessible via the “Actions” tab on a repository (if the owner enabled it). The workflows are written in YAML with a declarative language describing the event triggering the pipeline, the runner kind, some environment-related informations, and the jobs definitions.
