From 0 to hero: GitHub Actions kick start

GitHub has a new workflow and automation engine: GitHub Actions. It’s much more than just a CI/CD pipeline solution – it is a workflow engine you can use to automate anything in GitHub in a secure way. With over 10,000 actions in the GitHub marketplace, GitHub is a rapidly growing ecosystem that connects all your tools to automate every step of your software development process.

In this practical half-day workshop, you’ll learn everything related to GitHub Actions:

- YAML and YAML syntax
- Workflows, triggers, and jobs
- Workflow runners (hosted and self-hosted)
- Variables, secrets, contexts, and expressions
- Workflow commands
- Hands-on: My first workflow
- Actions: JavaScript/Typescript, Docker, and Composite Actions
- Hands-on: My first GitHub Action
- Templates und reusable workflows
- Environments und staged deployments
- Hands-on: My first multi-stage pipeline with approvals
- Security considerations when using GitHub Actions

The workshop is designed for developers and DevOps engineers that are experienced in other CI/CD platforms, like GitLab, Jenkins, or Azure Pipelines, and want to switch to GitHub Actions. But people that are completely new to the topics will also be able to follow along.
