Introduction to GitHub Actions
summary
GitHub Actions provides hosted CI/CD with Linux Windows and macOS virtual machines, YAML workflows and reusable steps like actions/checkout v2. Examples show matrix builds that expand into nine parallel runs (3 Node versions × 3 OSes), real iOS builds on macOS runners (physical Macs), and automated security fixes where dependabot PRs land, trigger the test matrix and can be auto-merged if green. The demo uses marketplace actions, npm and .NET setups and shows tests catching a string concatenation bug.
