In this module, you learned how to use GitHub Actions and integrate them into a workflow.

You are now able to:

• Describe what GitHub Actions are, the different types of actions, and where to find them.
• Use GitHub Actions workflows to plan automation for the software development lifecycle.
• Create a container action and run it in a workflow triggered by a push event in your GitHub repository.

Next Steps

To continue learning about GitHub Actions, explore the next two modules in this learning path.
You will deepen what you learned here and use GitHub Actions for:

• Continuous Integration (CI),
• Continuous Delivery (CD),
• and implementing Infrastructure as Code.
