GitHub provides workflow templates for a variety of languages and tooling.

You can configure workflows to run on a schedule or to run when certain events happen.

You can specify the compute environment your jobs and workflows run in.

Workflows automate tasks in your software development lifecycle. Many tasks that you manually complete can be converted to a GitHub Actions workflow.

A workflow is a configurable automated process made up of one or more jobs. You must create a YAML file to define your workflow configuration.
