GitHub Actions Basic CI Setup

In this lesson, we'll walk through the process of setting up a basic Continuous Integration (CI) workflow for our serverless project using GitHub Actions.

Prerequisites

Setup

In our repository, we'll create a new file in the .github/workflows directory. The directory and file might look something like this: .github/workflows/my-workflow.yml.

Let's start by defining a simple workflow that runs our tests every time we push to the repository.
