Advanced GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions is the most used CI/CD system on GitHub (with good reason!), and there are a ton of resources on how to get started. What about the next steps, how do you level up your Actions game once you’ve learned the basics?

This talk introduces you to advanced Actions topics such as dynamic matrix generation, API authentication using GitHub Applications, how to build and test your own problem matchers and more.

  1. Michael Heap / Advanced GitHub Actions Nova 2021 If A

    new issue doesn’t change the default template Then Add a comment asking for more information
  2. Michael Heap / Advanced GitHub Actions Nova 2021 If A

    deployment fails Then Attach the logs as a comment on the pull request
  3. Michael Heap / Advanced GitHub Actions Nova 2021 If We

    merge to main in repo X Then Update the submodule in repo Y
  4. Michael Heap / Advanced GitHub Actions Nova 2021 If A

    new issue is raised by a sponsor Then Apply the urgent label
