GitHub Actions allows you to easily automate your software workflows. Use this tag for questions regarding help on creating a workflow. If you need help on GitHub Actions in general, consider contacting GitHub by emailing their support (support.github.com/contact) or by asking in GitHub's Community Forum (github.com/orgs/community/discussions.

GitHub Actions extend GitHub's open source network and principles across the software development lifecycle. You can use GitHub Actions to automate your workflow, express business or organization rules, or connect all of the services your project uses, right in your project's repository.

You can write customized actions to interact with a repository in any way you'd like, including integrating with GitHub's APIs and any publicly available third-party API.

Add actions to your project by referencing them in your repository's workflow. Your workflows can reference actions located in your own repository, or in any public repository on GitHub.

Actions run in an environment where they have access to the code in your repository, variables you define, and secrets you make available to the action.
