github-actions

GitHub Actions enables CI/CD by running automated workflows stored in .github/workflows. Define triggers (push, pull requests, schedules), add job steps for testing and building, configure environments and secrets, then commit the workflow file to activate it across your repositories.

Yes. GitHub Actions workflows support multiple jobs and steps that run tests, builds, and deployments in sequence or parallel. Use environment configuration, conditional logic, and secrets management to gate deployment stages and integrate with Node.js, linting, type checking, and security audits.

GitHub Actions integrates with Dependabot to automatically create pull requests for dependency updates. Configure dependabot.yml to check for vulnerabilities, schedule update frequency, and combine with workflow steps that run security and audit scans on each commit and PR.

Release automation in GitHub Actions triggers on version tags or manual dispatch, runs build and test steps, creates artifacts, and posts notifications. Use reusable actions and environment configuration to manage deployment targets and coordinate multi-step release workflows.

Yes. GitHub Actions supports reusable workflows and custom actions stored in actions/ directories or separate repositories. Define them once with inputs and outputs, then call them from multiple workflows to standardize CI/CD patterns, testing, and deployment steps across your organization.
