The book uses hands-on examples to walk you through real-world use cases that will help you automate the entire release process. You'll cover everything, from automating the generation of release notes to building and testing your software and deploying securely to Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Google Cloud using OpenID Connect (OIDC), secrets, variables, environments, and approval checks. The book goes beyond CI/CD by demonstrating recipes to execute IssueOps and automate other repetitive tasks using the GitHub CLI, GitHub APIs and SDKs, and GitHub Token. You'll learn how to build your own actions and reusable workflows to share building blocks with the community or within your organization. By the end of this GitHub book, you'll have gained the skills you need to automate tasks and work with remarkable efficiency and agility.<h4>What you will learn</h4><ul><li>Author and debug GitHub Actions workflows with VS Code and Copilot</li><li>Run your workflows on GitHub-provided VMs (Linux, Windows, and macOS) or host your own runners in your infrastructure</li><li>Understand how to secure your workflows with GitHub Actions</li><li>Boost your productivity by automating workflows using GitHub's powerful tools, such as the CLI, APIs, SDKs, and access tokens</li><li>Deploy to any cloud and platform in a secure and reliable way with staged or ring-based deployments</li></ul><h4>Who this book is for</h4>This book is for anyone looking for a practical approach to learning GitHub Actions, regardless of their experience level.
