Learning GitHub Actions

Just one of the things I'm learning. https://github.com/hchiam/learning

Testing out markdown-link-check on this repo:

https://github.com/gaurav-nelson/github-action-markdown-link-check

https://github.com/marketplace/actions/markdown-link-check

Setup

mkdir .github && mkdir .github/workflows && touch .github/workflows/action.yml

Then edit action.yml

When you push, you'll see results here: https://github.com/hchiam/learning-github-actions/actions

Replace Travis CI with GitHub Actions

All you have to do is add a .github/workflows/some_file_name.yml file to your GitHub repo! For example:

name: GitHub Actions Demo

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [review_requested]

jobs:
  Example-GitHub-Action-Name:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2 # this will use https://github.com/actions/checkout
      # - run: npm run some-script
      - name: Cypress run
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v2 # this will use https://github.com/cypress-io/github-action
