GitHub Actions allows users to automate workflows and tasks across repositories through fully customizable actions that integrate seamlessly with GitHub. It provides a free continuous integration engine that supports Linux, Windows, and Mac environments. Actions can be written in JavaScript or use containers to interact with GitHub's API and other services. Logs are live-streamed and searchable to provide transparency into build processes.
