Lights, Camera, GitHub Actions!
summary
Covers practical GitHub Actions use with Java and Maven: uses actions like checkout, actions/setup-java, Maven wrapper, cache Maven m2, upload-artifact and conditional upx install; runs matrix builds on Ubuntu/Mac/Windows and uploads artifacts for later jobs. Notes limits and gotchas: 20 concurrent runners (free), only 5 parallel macOS, 6‑hour job timeout, 41 million build minutes/day statistic, outputs/inputs capped (scalar outputs, 65,535-character output limit, max 10 inputs). Shows reusable workflows and a real refactor that reusable workflow reduced YAML from 244 to 74 lines.
