CI/CD with GitHub Actions

Every professional team runs CI/CD. Every solo builder who has shipped something embarrassing in production wishes they had. This course covers the full pipeline: automated testing on every PR, preview deployments for every branch, production deploys on merge, secrets management, environment variables, caching for fast builds, and the workflows that keep code quality high without slowing you down.

What you'll learn

โœ“How CI/CD works โ€” workflow, event, job, step, and runner concepts in GitHub Actions explained plainly
โœ“Testing in CI โ€” type checking, linting, and test runs on every PR with branch protection rules
โœ“Preview deployments โ€” automatic Vercel deploys for every branch so reviewers can click, not imagine
โœ“Secrets and environment variables โ€” encrypted secrets, environment scoping, and never leaking keys in logs
โœ“Caching dependencies โ€” cache npm install between runs and cut build times by 60% or more
โœ“Matrix builds โ€” test across multiple Node versions or environments in parallel with one workflow
โœ“Deployment pipelines โ€” staging and production environments, manual approval gates, and rollback strategies
โœ“Monorepo CI โ€” path filters to run only affected jobs, saving build minutes on large repositories
