Pros:

• Github native CI (Don't need CI setup)
• Reusable job step pacakge (github action)

Cons:

• Still beta
• Missing features
  • Job step caching
  • Approvals & other checks (e.g. Release control using approvals)

workflows

A configurable automated process that you can set up in your repository to build,test,package,relase, or deploy any project on GitHub. Workflows are made up of one or more kjobs and can be scheduled or activated by an event.

jobs

A defined task made up of steps. Each job is run in a fresh instance of the virtual environment. You can define the dependency rules for how jobs run in a workflow file. Jobs can run at the same time in parallel or be dependent on the status of a previous job and run sequenially.

steps

A Step is a set of tasks performed by a job. Each step in a job executes in the same virtual environment,allowing the actions in that job to share information using the filesystem. Steps can run commands or actions.

Actions

Actions are ther smallest portable building block of a workflow.

• JS action: https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-javascript-action

• Example: https://github.com/anarcher/skaffold-action

    - name: skaffold build & publish - ${{ github.ref }}
      uses: anarcher/skaffold-action@master
      with:
        skaffold: build -p publish
        kustomize: edit set image anarcher/hello-ghact-argocd:${IMAGE_TAG}
        kustomize_path: ./k8s/prod/
        docker_username: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_GITHUB_USERNAME }}
        docker_password: ${{ secrets.DOCKER_GITHUB_PASSWORD }}
