GitHub Actions for Fun and Profit
summary
Walks through YAML workflows that run PSScriptAnalyzer, run 31 Pester tests across an Ubuntu Windows and a flaky self‑hosted runner, upload test artifacts, update the module manifest from a release tag and publish the module to the PowerShell Gallery using a repository secret token and write permissions. Shows pinning actions (checkout v6), using matrix builds and workflow commands for annotations, demonstrates a real publish that mostly succeeds (self‑hosted failed), and warns about supply‑chain risks and action vetting.
