  Example Repository showcasing how to run deployer on GitHub Actions

This article will go into detail how to write the GitHub Actions workflows and gives you examples on how to trigger these workflows. I will not cover how to configure deployer itself. Accompanying this article is an example Laravel application with example workflows for different deployment scenarios. If you like to read code first you can have a look at the repository on GitHub (I will reference this example project throughout the article).
