Inspiration

I have been reading the submission blogs for this year's GitHub Actions Hackathon. Also, most of the opensource repos on GitHub actively use GitHub actions to automate the workflow efficiently. Thus, I thought of building one and learning how about use them.

What it does

• Formed a .github/workflows directory.
• Made a .yml file of the workflow.

Challenges I ran into

• Choosing a learning resource (chose the official docs)
• Adapting the YAML syntax

Accomplishments that I'm proud of
