Github Actions for Continuous Integration (CI)

In this video, we'll look at setting up a continuous integration loop using Github Actions. We'll build, test, and package a simple Python app as an example, and look at how we can automate using different events.

What drives you so much to makes so many new videos and to learn so much about the latest and greatest

Thanks Wes keep it up, another good one

Thanks for watching, Nader AlRajabi!

Hey Wes great content. Currently I'm using github actions to build and deploy docker images to azure container registry. The next step for me is to use either releases or tags to trigger the build and include the version number in the build artifacts before pushing to azure, which you just demonstrated in the video, thanks 👍

[@WesDoyle]

Nice, Gavin, glad to hear it!

Awesome content broo! Love it

Thanks the video. Great content👍🏽 What's the editor you are using?

[@WesDoyle]

Hi Zafar, in this video I'm using PyCharm. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@jonathanallen8195]

dark mode is all cool and everything but its tough to read/follow in a video. Can you choose a different theme for videos please?

Hey Wes! Thanks for github video! It would be great if you make a video that explains how to work with git and github for beginers. I use github only for getting my project from different workstations, and iy would be great to know how to use github correctly. And also, what technology stack need to know for work in web-development today? I only begginer in that stuff, and use only c#, asp.net core (and ofc JS, HTML, CSS) yet, that why i want to know what i should learn next? Angular, React, Vue or maybe something else? And what languages need to know except C#? You use Phyton in your project, so it would be great, if you explain when it's more preffered than other languages? Thanks!

[@WesDoyle]

Hi Край Света -- thanks for the message. I will definitely make future content about using Git and Github for beginners. For web development, you have a wide variety of choices. C# with dotnet core is great to know, so if you're already learning it, I'd stick with it and build a few projects with it. I'd also recommend looking at React, Vue, or Angular, and choose one to start with. Building a few small projects using these frameworks is a great way to continue learning!

[@edge-of-the-world]

Thanks for the answer, Wes! But what about Python? Is there any cases when it should be using instead C#?

[@WesDoyle]

@@edge-of-the-world It really depends on the project and your preference. Python is perhaps a bit easier to learn and get started with from scratch, but is typically used for less high-performance projects - though there are caveats, here too! Python is widely used in the data science and machine learning community, and has a strong ecosystem in that domain. Python is dynamically typed, while C# is statically typed. Both languages have various web frameworks - Python has Django and Flask, for example, whereas C# has .NET Core. I love both languages, but I'd use them for different purposes.

@@WesDoyle Thanks, i think i understood

[@kevinpark7165]

Hi Wes thank you for the video. I have a suite of unit tests that is in a separate repository from my project. How would you go about implementing Continuous Integration using github action if that's the case? Thank you

[@WesDoyle]

Hi Kevin, it's possible to trigger events across repositories you administer. You may want to look at creating a dispatch event in Actions from your source code repo to trigger your test workflow(s) in your unit test repo. Searching the API docs for 'creating dispatch event' may get you on the right path.

[@MDDanishAnsariDev]

Hey Wes, Any plan on making authenticated webapi tutorial in .net core such as user authentication?

[@WesDoyle]

Hi Danish - sure thing! I'll be working on OAuth 2.0 related videos soon.

[@MDDanishAnsariDev]

@@WesDoyle ok thanks a lot

[@MDDanishAnsariDev]

@@WesDoyle And is there anyway I can contact you via Twitter or Instagram because I tried creating BookReviewController from your last video series and I'm getting some error and I'm not able to figure out how to solve it.

[@bclark1786]

Hey Wes, any possibility you could extend the promotional coupon on your Udemy course? I'd love to check it out! Thanks!

[@WesDoyle]

Hi B Clark, I added a new promo code - try MAY2020 -- Udemy only allows me to run a few short promos a month, and this is the latest. Thanks! I hope it can be a good resource for you.

[@bclark1786]

@@WesDoyle Purchased! :). That's extremely kind of you, man. I really appreciate it.

[@Nurtylek]

can you make video abt ci/cd angular with GitHub actions?)

[@WesDoyle]

Great idea. Нуртилек Кошкар, I'll put it into my queue for future video ideas.

[@slackergeek2007]

was the blurry video intentional?

[@WesDoyle]

Hey! Not intentional - I've had some issues with the screen captures lately - will have a fix for future videos. :)
