GitHub Actions allows you to automate, customize and execute your software development workflows inside your repository.
You can configure your workflows to run when specific activity on GitHub happens, at a scheduled time, or when an event outside of GitHub occurs.
With the applitools-eyes-action you can identify visual changes at the time of PR using this in your workflows. This is beneficial for folks making visual changes to the UI and ensuring specific elements are not removed or broken.
