GitHub Actions: Open Source Workflow Automation
summary
GitHub Actions are presented as workflow-as-code running on GitHub.com with 32,000 signups in the first 24 hours; demos show NPM workflows with parallel test and lint steps, branch filters that gate a publish step, and an open registry of community and vendor actions (AWS Google Cloud Azure Twilio SendGrid Docker Hub HashiCorp). Actions execute as containers with access to the repo and event payload, support secrets via GITHUB_TOKEN, and can be run locally with the act tool to run locally; actions run as Docker containers.
