120 cards
This deck is a hands-on collection of recipes and quick answers for working with GitHub Actions, the automation platform built into GitHub. It walks through the core building blocks of a workflow, including jobs, steps, runners, and the various events that can trigger a run. You will also find practical guidance on scheduling jobs with cron expressions and filtering triggers by branch, which are essential skills for setting up reliable CI/CD pipelines.
The cards are ideal if you are getting started with continuous integration and deployment on GitHub, preparing for a DevOps or developer interview, or just want a fast reference to revisit when configuring your own repositories. Because the questions focus on definitions, syntax, and common patterns, the deck works best alongside a real project where you can experiment with writing and modifying actual workflow files in your editor of choice.
To get the most out of this material, try answering each card out loud before flipping it over, and follow up by opening a sample repository to practice writing the YAML yourself. Spacing your reviews across several short sessions, rather than cramming, will help the syntax details like cron expressions and trigger filters stick in long-term memory. Treat each card as a prompt to explore the topic a little further in the official documentation when something feels unfamiliar.
