Github Actions

Events

An event is a trigger for workflow

A common event that occurs on a repo, is when someone pushes code.

test.yml

• on: push

  • We specify the workflow to trigger when someone pushes new code.

  • This will run all the jobs within the workflow.

  • There are other triggers: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows

Jobs

• In this workflow we have a single named, super-lint

• It specifies multiple steps and actions

Under steps, there are 2 actions being run.

1. First it is going to checkout our code with checkout@v2

2. Then its going to run the super-linter@v3 against it

runs-on: specifies a container environment for the code to run within. By default Github runs this container for you - but you can host your own if you wish.

The default container options are: ubuntu, windows, macOS
