Github’s recently added new feature, Github Actions, promises us a powerful Workflow system to handle a huge range of tasks. Those of us who publish Node.js packages can use Actions to automatically run tests and then publish the package to npm. Let us see how to use Github Actions to simplify our lives.

At the moment Github Actions is in public beta and is only open to those who sign up — See: https://github.com/features/actions to sign up, and to read the documentation.
