Automate your workflow with GitHub Actions Part 1 of 2

Scope of part one

This is the first half of a GitHub Actions path, aimed at automating the software development cycle. It moves from the basics of workflow automation into building continuous integration workflows, then into deploying applications to Azure.

The four modules

1. Automating development tasks with GitHub Actions.
2. Building continuous integration workflows.
3. Building and deploying applications to Azure.
4. Automating GitHub itself with GitHub Script.

Practical considerations

The four modules take 5 hours 41 minutes in total. The final module is a different kind of automation: it targets the repository and its workflow rather than the application code, which is useful to know before you start.

Because it is labelled part 1 of 2, plan to continue with the second half to complete the picture of deployment and automation.
