Hands-On Introduction to CI/CD with GitHub Actions

Lukasz Kallas uses a compact JavaScript project to introduce automated delivery work. The outline includes linting and tests on pushes and pull requests, a Node.js version matrix, a React application on GitHub Pages and Docker image publishing. The concrete examples suit a developer who wants to make a first workflow understandable before attempting a larger pipeline.

What you will learn

• Write YAML workflows for push and pull-request checks.
• Test across Node.js versions with a matrix.
• Connect build output with a deployment or image-publishing step.

Who this suits

Basic Git commands, GitHub use and JavaScript familiarity are required. The provider states that a free GitHub account is enough and no previous CI/CD or Docker experience is needed.

Before you enroll

The short runtime leaves further troubleshooting and independent work to the learner. Check current Pages, registry and Actions terms before adapting publishing steps, and keep credentials within appropriate secret handling.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current enrollment terms and any separate software, account or materials costs.

Put it into practice

Rebuild the test workflow for a different small JavaScript project. Make one check fail deliberately, compare the logs across matrix entries and explain the conditions under which publishing should run.
