In this module, we will guide you through setting up the essential tools and environment needed for GitHub Actions. You’ll install NodeJS, configure GitHub Codespaces, create a repository, and gain a foundational understanding of YAML, which is critical for defining workflows.

In this module, we will break down the fundamental building blocks of GitHub Actions. You’ll explore workflows, jobs, and steps in detail, and apply your knowledge by creating and reviewing a simple workflow.

In this module, we will explore how workflows are triggered by different events in GitHub Actions. You’ll learn about event types, create workflows that respond to them, and review practical implementations to solidify your understanding.

In this module, we will examine the role of workflow runners, helping you understand when to use GitHub-hosted or self-hosted runners. Through exercises, you’ll configure workflows on different runners and analyze performance considerations.

In this module, we will explore the GitHub Actions Marketplace and how to utilize pre-built actions. You’ll integrate these actions into your workflows and review practical implementations to enhance automation efficiency.

In this module, we will dive into event filters and activity types, helping you fine-tune when and how workflows are triggered. You’ll gain hands-on experience in applying these concepts to create more precise automation strategies.

In this module, we will break down the concept of contexts in GitHub Actions and explore their significance. You’ll learn how to use context variables to make workflows more dynamic and data-driven.

In this module, we will explore expressions and variables, key components that enable flexibility in workflows. You’ll practice implementing expressions, managing environment variables, and utilizing them effectively in workflow automation.

In this module, we will introduce functions in GitHub Actions and their application in workflows. You’ll learn how to use them effectively to create more dynamic and efficient automation processes.

In this module, we will focus on managing workflow execution flow, including job dependencies and conditional execution. You’ll explore best practices to ensure smooth workflow progression and efficiency.

In this module, we will explore how to handle inputs and outputs in GitHub Actions. You’ll learn to pass data effectively between jobs and workflows, enabling better automation control and flexibility.

In this module, we will dive into caching and artifact management, key techniques to enhance workflow efficiency. You’ll learn to reduce execution times using caching and store critical data using artifacts.

In this module, we will explore matrices in GitHub Actions and their role in optimizing workflow execution. You’ll learn how to use matrices for parallelization and configuration control.

In this module, we will focus on environments and their role in secure and controlled workflow execution. You’ll learn how to set up environments and integrate them into your automation processes.

In this module, we will guide you through the process of creating custom GitHub Actions. You’ll develop actions from scratch using JavaScript and Docker, adding advanced functionality step by step.

In this module, we will explore reusable workflows, a powerful way to streamline automation. You’ll learn to create, share, and customize reusable workflows for greater efficiency.
