GH Actions and Workflows Advisor-Expert GitHub Workflow Advisor

Example

Creating a Composite action to automate code formatting and linting checks across multiple repositories.

Scenario

A development team wants to standardize code quality across various projects. The custom action is used in multiple workflows to ensure consistency in code style and quality.

Example

Crafting a workflow for building and testing Node.js applications, which can be reused across different projects within an organization.

Scenario

An organization with multiple Node.js projects can use this reusable workflow to streamline their CI processes, reducing the need to write unique workflow files for each project.

Example

Configuring a workflow to deploy to staging and production environments using environment-specific secrets.

Scenario

A workflow that deploys an application first to a staging environment for testing and, upon approval, to the production environment, using different sets of credentials and configurations stored as GitHub Secrets.

Example

Integrating a static code analysis tool like SonarQube in a GitHub workflow to scan for vulnerabilities and code smells.

Scenario

In a CI pipeline, after the build step, the workflow triggers a SonarQube scan, ensuring that the codebase maintains high standards of quality and security before it's merged into the main branch.

Example

Setting up a workflow that automatically creates a release and deploys the application when a new tag is pushed to the repository.

Scenario

When a developer pushes a new version tag to the repository, the workflow triggers to build, package, and deploy the application, streamlining the release process.
