Automated testing episode contains too many steps #211

There is risk that we lose focus on what this really is about.

Ran out of time but summarizing here what I think should be done:

we should focus here on the essence: automated testing, coupling it to PRs
provide a repo with a simple code
let learners generate/fork from it
let them add a workflow file
observe that actions pick it up
create a branch on the web
fix an issue
create PR
observe how it turns to green

All the other distraction should be removed. There is way too much and it distracts from what this is really about.

What is the progress here? I'd be happy to setup and include examples and repositories for Julia and C++ but if you still plan on cutting down the episode that might be a lot of unnecessary work for everyone.

I still think it's too many steps and this has not been reduced. I hope that for the upcoming September workshop we go through the open issues when preparing.
