Anddddd it's a wrap! In this tutorial, we've gone through detailed steps of setting up our GitHub Actions workflows to automate the deployment of a Telegram bot. If you are keen, you can go further and explore the adding of a test workflow as well as using matrix strategy to run against multiple versions. For reference, the workflows for a chatbot project of mine can be found here.

React ChatBotify is a React library that allows users to effortlessly integrate a highly customizable chatbot to their websites. Available on npm, it is slowly gaining adoption and there is an increasing need to ensure its reliability and consistency for users. While the previous project had a single build workflow, this project contains 3 separate workflows for lint, test and build.

I hope this article along with the code snippets I shared above will be helpful to anyone out there grappling with similar issues. While I've shared my journey in tackling the pesky problem of media controls showing up on mobile devices' notification trays, I'm still open to ideas, suggestions and feedback - especially if you know a better solution!

GitHub Actions are automated routines that run on GitHub's sandboxed virtual machine servers, called "runners", and are (probably) free for your Public open source projects!

GitHub Actions

To realize continuous integration in practice, we rely on version control systems(VCS) such as Git, code repositories such as GitHub, and build automation tools such as GitHub Actions.

GitHub, as one of the leading web-based Git repository hosting service, provides a powerful suite of CI/CD tools in the form of GitHub Actions. These are directly integrated into the platform which empowers developers to increase the speed, efficiency and reliability of delivering products. In this brief article, we will take a look at what CI/CD is, why we should use it, as well as some of its applications in my projects.

GitHub Actions is a modern CI/CD tool integrated natively on GitHub. Itenables the rapid automation of build, test, deployment, and other custom workflows on GitHub with no need for external tools.

GitHub Actions is GitHub's CI/CD solution. You can use it to run automated tasks each time you change your code. Although the platform lacks a built-in Kubernetes integration, third-party plugins such as Azure's Deploy to Kubernetes Cluster action can automate deployments and manage different rollout strategies.

GitHub Actions is a feature-rich CI/CD platform embedded within GitHub, enabling developers to automate, customize, and execute software development workflows directly in their repositories. An Action inside GitHub Actions is a discrete unit of automation that performs a specific task within a workflow. All the Actions are reusable, and there are many to choose from. You can even create your own reusable ones.

The real power of using PHP code-quality tools is when it’s added to your continuous integration process, which means it automatically checks the code every time someone makes a push or pull request to your project repo. In this section, we'll be looking at how to do just that. GitHub actions is available for free so we'll use it for demo purposes. Note that there are some limits to private repos, so set your test repo to public if you can.
