GitHub Actions, a powerful tool provided by GitHub, enables developers to automate their workflows directly within their repositories. Whether it’s continuous integration (CI), continuous deployment (CD), or any other custom automation task, GitHub Actions simplifies the process. In this article we will learn how to test your GitHub Actions locally with the act CLI tool.
GitHub Actions provides powerful capabilities for automating workflows, including the ability to control job execution based on specific conditions. By using if conditions in workflow files, you can create dynamic workflows that execute certain steps or jobs only when certain conditions are met. In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to use if conditions in GitHub Actions workflows, along with basic examples and variations to demonstrate their usage.
Introduction: GitHub Actions and Jenkins are two popular tools used for automating software development workflows, including continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD).
