GitHub Actions

Automate software workflows directly in your GitHub repository with GitHub Actions.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Setting up CI/CD pipelines for GitHub repositories
• Automating build, test, and deployment workflows
• Creating reusable workflow components
• Configuring self-hosted runners
• Managing workflow secrets and variables
• Debugging failed workflow runs

Scope and Fragment Prerequisites

Examples are independent YAML fragments, not a complete deployable pipeline. Each new job needs its own checkout, tool setup, locked dependency installation and artifact transfer; jobs do not share a working directory. Review untrusted event inputs, least-privilege permissions, protected environments and secret exposure before adoption. Image push, deployment and runner registration require authorization.
