What is GitHub Actions?

GitHub Actions is GitHub's workflow automation service for building, testing and deploying code from repository events. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.

YAML workflows run jobs on hosted or self-hosted runners and compose reusable actions. Permissions, event context, untrusted pull requests, secrets, pinned dependencies and environment approvals are key parts of a secure pipeline design.
