GitHub Actions - CI:CD and more
summary
GitHub Actions is shown as a repo‑centric automation platform that runs CI, CD and arbitrary workflows defined in YAML alongside code, with workflow dispatch (manual runs) and repository dispatch (HTTP-triggered runs) for external integration. Migration notes include a real case of 127 Azure Pipelines converted, with speed and marketplace benefits called out, but gaps in deployment gates, advanced approvals, and enterprise‑only environment features that require custom API workarounds or paid tooling.
