GitHub Actions makes it easier than ever to incorporate continuous integration (CI) into your repositories. This course will get you from zero-to-CI by setting up two workflow files to automate the way you work.

What you'll learn

We'll answer common questions like: ●What is Continuous Integration? ●How do GitHub Actions and workflows enable CI? ●What are build artifacts and how are they used? ●How can a unit testing framework be implemented with GitHub Actions? And when you're done you'll be able to: ●Describe the importance of GitHub Actions in Continuous Integration ●Use and customize a templated workflow ●Create CI workflows that match a team's needs and behaviors ●Use a repository's source code and build artifacts across jobs in a workflow ●Implement a unit testing framework using GitHub Actions ●Create a workflow that runs tests and produces test reports ●Set up a matrix build to create build artifacts for multiple target platforms ●Save and access a repository's build artifacts ●Choose virtual environments for an application's CI needs

What you'll build

In this course, we'll be walking through CI using GitHub Actions, and creating a Tic Tac Toe game! deployed app
