CI/CD Pipelines with GitHub Actions

Automating your test and deployment workflow with GitHub Actions saves time and reduces errors.

A typical Django CI pipeline:

1. Install Python and dependencies
2. Run linting (ruff check)
3. Run type checking (mypy)
4. Run tests with coverage
5. Build Docker image
6. Deploy to staging/production

GitHub Actions uses YAML workflow files in .github/workflows/. Each workflow consists of triggers, jobs, and steps. You can reuse community actions from the GitHub Marketplace or write custom scripts.
