Authored by a Microsoft Regional Director, this book shows you how to leverage the power of the community-driven GitHub Actions workflow platform to automate repetitive engineering tasks
Key Features
- Automate CI/CD workflows and deploy securely to cloud providers like Azure, AWS, or GCP using OpenID
- Create your own custom actions with Docker, JavaScript programming, or shell scripts and share them with others
- Discover ways to automate complex scenarios beyond the basic ones documented in GitHub
Book Description
Say goodbye to tedious tasks! GitHub Actions is a powerful workflow engine that automates everything in the GitHub ecosystem, letting you focus on what matters most.
This book explains the GitHub Actions workflow syntax, the different kinds of actions, and how GitHub-hosted and self-hosted workflow runners work. You’ll get tips on how to author and debug GitHub Actions and workflows with Visual Studio Code (VS Code), run them locally, and leverage the power of GitHub Copilot. The book uses hands-on examples to walk you through real-world use cases that will help you automate the entire release process. You’ll cover everything, from automating the generation of release notes and over building and testing your software to deploying securely to Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Google Cloud using OpenID Connect (OIDC), Secrets, Variables, Environments, and approval checks.
The book goes beyond CI/CD by demonstrating recipes for executing IssueOps and automating other repetitive tasks using the GitHub CLI, GitHub APIs and SDKs, and GitHub Token. You’ll learn how to build your own actions and reusable workflows to share building blocks with the community or within your organization.
By the end of this GitHub book, you'll have gained the skills you need to automate tasks and work with remarkable efficiency and agility.
What you will learn
- Author and debug GitHub Actions workflows with VS Code and Copilot
- Run your workflows on GitHub-provided VMs (Linux, Windows, and macOS) or host your own runners in your infrastructure
- Understand how to secure your workflows with GitHub Actions
- Boost your productivity by automating workflows using GitHub's powerful tools such as CLI, APIs, SDKs, and access tokens
- Deploy to any cloud and platform in a secure and reliable way with staged or ring-based deployments
- Migrate workflows from other platforms like Jenkins, GitLab, or Bitbucket to GitHub Actions
Who this book is for
This book is for anyone looking for a practical approach to learning GitHub Actions, regardless of their experience level. Whether you're a software developer, a DevOps engineer, anyone who has already experimented with Actions, or someone completely new to CI/CD tools like Jenkins or Azure Pipelines, you’ll find expert insights in this book. Basic knowledge of using Git and command lines is a must.

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
