Hello World

This is a test repository for GitHub Actions.

This is a simple introductory workflow to help you get started with GitHub Actions.

A workflow is a configurable automated process made up of one or more jobs. You must create a workflow file to use GitHub Actions. The file is made up of one or more jobs and can be scheduled to run at specific times or events.

Workflow syntax for GitHub Actions

name: Hello World
on: [push]
jobs:
  build:
    name: Hello World Action
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Print a greeting
        run: echo "Hello, world"

This workflow contains a single job called "build"

A job contains a set of steps that perform an action, such as building your project, running tests, or deploying your application.

The runs-on key tells the job to run on the latest version of Ubuntu

GitHub Actions provides hosted virtual environments for building, testing, and deploying your project. Each job in a workflow runs in a fresh instance of an environment, so steps in one job can't access filesystem artifacts created by previous jobs. The runs-on key specifies the type of machine to use for the job's virtual environment.

The steps key contains a single step that prints a greeting

A step is a set of tasks performed by a job. Steps can run commands, run setup tasks, or run an action in your repository, a public repository, or an action published in a Docker registry. Not all steps run actions, but all actions run as a step. Steps can also run multiple actions.
