Spend More Time Coding & Automate the Boring Stuff
summary
Demo shows GitHub Actions running CI and deployments from inside GitHub using actions/checkout and setup-node, GitHub-hosted runners and optional self-hosted runners, plus caching and secrets. Workflows use a matrix across Node 10/12/14/15 and Ubuntu/Windows/macOS to run four-by-three parallel jobs. Pull requests spin up per-PR ephemeral environments that deploy, test, destroy on close; draft release notes are auto-generated and the community offers 8,000 community actions to reuse.
