Building a CI Pipeline with GitHub Actions

Learn how to create a CI pipeline using GitHub Actions. Configure a workflow to automatically test, build, and deploy your code on every push to the master branch.

GitHub Actions Workflow Setup

Daily

Create a GitHub Actions workflow file (e.g., `.github/workflows/main.yml`) to define the CI pipeline. Configure the workflow to trigger on pushes to the `master` branch. Then, define the steps in the workflow, including checking out the code, setting up Node.js, installing dependencies, and running tests, build, and deploy commands.

Test the CI Pipeline

Daily

Commit and push code changes to the `master` branch to trigger the CI pipeline. Monitor the workflow execution in GitHub Actions to ensure that all steps complete successfully.
