GitHub Actions allows developers to build automated workflows to build, test, and deploy code. It consists of triggers that initiate workflows containing jobs made up of individual steps or actions. Current GitHub Actions for Power Platform include actions for cloning, packing, and importing Power Apps solutions using a Windows runner and the Power Apps CLI. The documentation, an Actions lab, and demo repos are resources for learning more about Power Platform GitHub Actions.
