Setup environment with Nodejs and install dependencies with npm install, with Github Actions setup Node

No, PR review isn't the only thing that prevents these from being updated. In the yml it's set to a release branch. So it isn't especially fallible.

If you see repeated build or preparation steps that do not change when your codebase changes, look into caching the results. Here is a straightforward guide to caching, but also be aware caching is built into a lot of marketplace actions anyway, e.g. actions/setup-node can cache npm dependencies.

The most popular ones are Node.js, Python, Java JDK, Go, .Net Core SDK.

Well, let’s consider the scenario we had with the DevHub. We were using the third-party action setup-node to install and configure the Node.js programming language. This action lets you specify the node version to install but it can’t be a dynamically acquired value. You either have to hardcode it or interpolate the value.

This is hitting workflows that use caching [1][2].

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.

You can even automate the running of this script — hence the directory name automation — to happen every time the data changes, using GitHub Actions.

You might remember that I’ve been taking an interest in GitHub Actions for the last year or so (I even wrote a book on the subject). And at the Perl Conference in Toronto last summer I gave a talk called “GitHub Actions for Perl Development” (here are the slides and the video).

Preevy is designed to be easily run in CI/CD workflows, such as GH Actions, Circle CI and others.

I set out to add further development and contribution tools to my ez-txt2html converter. Specifically, I wanted to introduce an initial Continuous Integration workflow. For this, I used the “Python Application” workflow template in Github Actions to create a CI testing workflow that builds a Py v3.12 environments, builds the project dependencies, runs Flake8 linting and Black formatting and then subsequently runs PyTest using the test suites I’ve written previously.
