GitHub Features Every C++ Developer Should Know
summary
Shows concrete workflows using GitHub Actions to run a six‑job matrix (six builds plus two analysis checks), demonstrates GitHub hosted runners up to 64 cores/256 GB and self‑hosted runners, and uses Codespaces (devcontainers) to spin up a reproducible environment. Adds CI and a pinned msvc code analysis action to a resurrected C++ Go implementation, finds three alerts including an uninitialized member, cherry‑picks fixes, runs tests and the game binary, and shows the PR gating and artifacts actually work.
