GitHub just launched “Actions”
I’m personally pretty into this sort of thing, but I haven’t taken a deep look into it.
What are your thoughts?

I think building in CI capabilities was something Gitlab got very, very right. GitHub relied on its marketplace to provide many of the services that Gitlab has built-in. I think they might be seeing users making the switch to GitLab, and reacting to that.
The visual way of setting up actions does look more intuitive than setting up GitLab Ci, though.
That's right, however GitLab is painfully unstable / less reliable compared to GitHub, IMHO.
There are discussions here on implementing a visual editor for the
.gitlab.ci.yml: gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/is.... With GitHub Actions, this will probably get prioritized.After years of pain with VSTF CI, I doubt MSFT had anything to do with this! :D
The newer cloud version is much less painful to implement.
Environmental variables for GH Pages is huge for my students -- I have a similar set up with Netlify right now that I'm super happy with for personal use, but they usually use pages and this will help a lot.
I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Reminds me of Dialogflow + Google Functions but for pure CI entertainment.
It seems like a Zapier way of doing DevOps on Github. But I'm happy with all new features they can add so as to not having a need to use any other of its competitors.
Looks pretty good to me, nice to see new features coming out!
Having everything on same platform feel good. No more travis ci :)
Perfect timing I'm developing a blog post on top of that.
Just to mention an aspect I feel nobody else mentioned yet: GitHub totally takes over features, which used to be set up using the GitHub Marketplace – I do not want to know how people at Travis & Co. are feeling right now.
How many of the Apps in the GitHub Marketplace have been rendered useless this way?
Welcome to software development.
Think about vendors everytime AWS releases a new service :D
