GitHub Actions is a section in the github platform that allows one to configure dependencies for the code and then deploy it within a sort of virtual environment using a linux like or windows like environment. Whenever there is a commit done to the project, then the actions will run and prove that the project compiles and potentially is tested fully if the steps are set up.

This can be a little difficult to get right the first time, but its posisble to run scrips or batch/shell type commands in the environment to install dependencies using sudo apt-get or curl -o some-depend.lib https://www.example.com/some-depend.lib.

As I learn to get tests up and running and or output verification outside of running batch or shell scripts externally, I plan to update with a new post.

Happy Coding
