GitHub Actions

TL;DR

Was: GitHubs eingebaute CI/CD- und Automatisierungsplattform.

Warum: Native GitHub-Integration, kostenlos für öffentliche Repos, Marktplatz mit Actions, Matrix-Builds.

Quick Start

Erstellen Sie .github/workflows/ci.yml:

name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20'
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test

Pushen Sie, um den Workflow auszulösen.
