In this webinar, I share how can we start using GitHub Actions to automate tasks. In Portuguese: Automatize tarefas com GitHub Actions: Primeiros passos Do you need to run some code on a regular schedule (every day, every Monday, every month) and you’re doing it manually? In this activity, we’ll explore GitHub Actions, a tool that lets you automate code execution on GitHub. The goal is to give an introduction—focusing on the key concepts—and to show a few practical examples (with code provided). No prior experience with GitHub Actions is required, but it’s helpful to already have a GitHub account (you can create one for free at https://github.com/) and some programming background.
