Getting Traction with GitHub Actions

Brian Douglas will walk through how you can leverage action packed workflows to supercharge your repos on GitHub by building them with containers to run arbitrary code, run CI, and even automate portions of your developer workflow.

Getting Traction with GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions makes it easy to automate all your software workflows, now with CI/CD. Build, test, and deploy your code right from GitHub. Make code reviews, branch management, and issue triaging work the way you want.

DevOps goals have stayed the same over the year, but our tools, infrastructure, and operating models have changed. To support modern software delivery, organizations must establish and share proven developer workflows.

This talk will cover how existing projects are using GitHub Action to hope that all projects, despite their size, can benefit collectively from knowledge sharing. The benefit of Actions is that the majority are shareable and open source. Plan to leave this talk with ideas on how you can automate new portions of your software development pipeline for production.
