Custom workflow

Now that we've learned how to quickly set up CI, let's try a more realistic use case.

Our fictional team has a custom workflow that goes beyond the template we've used so far. We would like the following features:

an icon of three gears
Test against multiple targets so that we know if our supported operating systems and Node.js versions are working

icon of gears indicating relationship between multiple jobs
Dedicated test job so that we can separate out build from test details

icon of a binary file
Access to build artifacts so that we can deploy them to a target environment

icon of a security shield indicating branch protections
Branch protections so that the master branch can't be deleted or inadvertently broken

icon of a review approval
Required reviews so that any pull requests are double checked by teammates

icon of a review approval
Obvious approvals so we can merge quickly and potentially automate merges and deployments

Step 7: Create a custom GitHub Actions workflow

Can GitHub Actions support this workflow? Let's find out. We'll tackle some of the changes to the existing workflow file first.

:keyboard: Activity: Edit the existing workflow with new build targets

  1. Edit your existing workflow file in a new branch
  2. In that file, target versions 12.x and 14.x of Node, only
  3. Open a new pull request titled Improve CI for your change.

I'll respond when you open the pull request.
