GitHub actions help developers to automate workflows. You can run tests, build and publish packages, check coverage, lint the codebase, and do tons of other cool stuff, using GitHub actions.

Some of the best and most popular python projects are using GitHub actions to automate their workflow.

GitHub actions are defined using a yaml file under the .github/workflows folder.
