How to Properly Set Up CI Using GitHub Actions

[jukangpark]

I am looking for advice on how to properly set up Continuous Integration (CI) for my project using GitHub Actions. Here are a few points I’d like to address:

1. Workflow Configuration: What are the best practices for configuring the workflow YAML files in GitHub Actions?
2. Automated Testing: How can I integrate automated testing into the CI process to ensure that all commits and pull requests are tested thoroughly?
3. Build and Deployment: What are the recommended steps to automate the build and deployment process using GitHub Actions?
4. Secrets Management: How should sensitive information such as API keys and tokens be handled securely within GitHub Actions?
5. Error Handling and Notifications: What are the best practices for handling errors and setting up notifications to alert the team of any issues in the CI pipeline?

Any detailed guidance or examples from your own experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@jukangpark I vaguely heard from a friend that a server is necessary. I'll look into it in more detail when I have some free time. 😉🫡
