What GitHub Actions is, the parts of a workflow, a first CI workflow for a Node project, reading runs with gh, and the events that start a workflow: push, pull_request, manual and scheduled.
Growing a workflow: job options, jobs that wait for each other, expressions and contexts, passing values between steps and jobs, matrix builds, caches and artifacts.
Reusable workflows and composite actions, concurrency groups, the security habits that keep a workflow from becoming a back door, debugging a failed run, and what Actions costs.
Secrets and variables, the GITHUB_TOKEN and its permissions, environments with required reviewers, deploying to a cloud with OIDC instead of stored keys, and a pipeline that pushes a Docker image.
Part 1 of the GitHub guide: what GitHub adds to Git, creating a repository, signing in with gh, an SSH key or a token, and putting a project online.
Part 4 of the GitHub guide: a first Actions workflow, secrets and permissions, publishing a site with GitHub Pages, releases with generated notes, Codespaces and Copilot.
Part 3 of the GitHub guide: issues and labels, contributing to someone else's project through a fork, branch protection, CODEOWNERS and keeping a repository safe.
Part 2 of the GitHub guide: the GitHub flow step by step, a good pull request, reviewing with comments and suggestions, and the three ways to merge.
