This is the first video of the series: "GitHub Actions: Full Course" and in this one you'll get your hands dirty with building your first workflow and learning all the fundamentals of working with GitHub Actions.
We will cover how the internals of GitHub Actions, workflow syntax, jobs, steps, functions, conditionals, community actions, log viewer, and I will be showing you step by step how you can use GitHub Actions to call GitHub's REST APIs to automate certain tasks!

if you are getting the following error when you run these aciton codes; Resource not accessible by integration. Following these steps may solve the problem. 1- Go to repository "Settings". 2- After that it will show you a left pane where you will find "Actions" 3- Expand "Actions" tab 4- Click on "General" under options tab. 5- Now on new page scroll down and you will fine "Workflow Permissions" 6- Select "Read and Write" under "Workflow Permissions".

Another way of doing this is to provide explit write permission to the job for issue in the yaml file. For some reason, evern after changing the repository from public to private and back, the "Read and Write" under "Workflow Permissions" was disabled for me. Hence the "Create comment on Issue" workflow was failing for me. After reading the README, I figured that it has to do with the GITHUB_TOKEN permissions. I checked it in the "Setup Job" output and figured that, GITHUB_TOKEN has only read permission. I tried to change it in setting but did not work as it is always greyed out for me (though I am the owner of the org as well as repository). On further reading I figured out that permissions can be controlled in a fine-grained manner in the yaml file itself. I tried it out and it worked.

Why wouldn't you show how you debugged the error? When someone is following along it is rather frustrating to see a time-lapse and "magic" it works. At least tell us what you did to fix the errors. I caught a few of them but keep getting a "You have an error in your yaml syntax on line 31". Thanks for taking the time to put something like this together though.

I’m new to GitHub actions Had some questions: 1. I want to automate the CI process where the tool I use is connected to the GitHub and there are 2 dbs After a developer pushes to one db, the second db should have the capability to pull the resources that were pushed in the first db. The tool (hosted on aws) provides a .sh file which triggers the pull for the second db. How can I connect to the aws instance from GitHub using actions and point to the aws folder and make use of the .sh file to trigger the pull. Looking forward to your expertise. Thanks a lot

@glich.stream Жыл бұрын

Hi Shuchi, you workflow jobs will run on runners with an operating system, right? So start by thinking of how you would solve this problem on your own machine, then you can split the solution into 1 or more jobs and 1 or more steps! Start with a simple step that runs a bash or powershell script that does all of the work that you'd want to do, then explore other more abstracted options (like finding actions in the market you could use to do one thing or another).
