GitHub Actions configuration

Learn how to integrate GitHub Actions in DevOps Intelligence.
GitHub Actions enables the automation of various tasks and processes in their software development workflows providing insights into various aspects of the development process. Developers can define custom workflows using YAML syntax, which can be triggered by events such as code pushes, pull requests, or scheduled intervals. DI captures all workflows in Github Actions as builds and retrieve them in the Build page of DevOps Intelligence.
