CI/CD is how professional teams ship software. This course builds a complete GitHub Actions pipeline from scratch — automated tests, Docker builds, deployment, secrets, and caching — step by step across 5 days.
This is a text-first course that links out to the best supporting material on the internet instead of trying to replace it. The goal is to make this the best course on ci/cd you can find — even without producing a single minute of custom video.
GitHub Actions is the most widely adopted CI/CD platform. This course builds on it exclusively — with enough conceptual understanding to transfer to Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI.
You build a single pipeline across 5 days — adding test automation, Docker builds, deployment, and optimization progressively.
The GitHub Actions docs are thorough and well-maintained. This course links to relevant docs pages instead of paraphrasing them.
Each day is designed to finish in about an hour of focused reading plus hands-on work. No live classes, no quizzes.
Each day stands alone. Read them in order for the full picture, or jump straight to the day that answers the question you have today.
Workflow YAML structure, triggers (push, PR, schedule), jobs and steps, runners. Your first working GitHub Actions workflow.
Running unit tests, integration tests, and coverage reports in CI. Test parallelization, failure handling, and the PR gate that blocks broken code.
Building Docker images in GitHub Actions, pushing to GHCR or Docker Hub, layer caching for fast rebuilds, multi-architecture builds.
Staging and production deployment workflows, environment protection rules, rollback strategies, and the deploy-on-merge pattern.
Managing secrets and environment variables safely, dependency caching, matrix builds, reusable workflows, and cutting pipeline runtime.
Instead of shooting our own videos, we link to the best deep-dives already on YouTube. Watch them alongside the course. All external, all free, all from builders who ship this stuff.
Complete GitHub Actions walkthroughs — from your first workflow to multi-job pipelines with environment deployments.
Setting up automated test suites in GitHub Actions — running tests on every PR and blocking merges when they fail.
Building and pushing Docker images from GitHub Actions — with caching for fast pipelines.
Building staging and production deployment pipelines — the patterns that professional teams use to ship safely.
Managing secrets, environment variables, and sensitive configuration in GitHub Actions workflows.
Speeding up GitHub Actions pipelines — dependency caching, job parallelization, and reusable workflows.
The best way to go deeper on any topic is to read canonical open-source implementations. These repositories implement the core patterns covered in this course.
Official GitHub starter workflows for common CI/CD patterns — the reference collection for GitHub Actions configuration.
Official GitHub Action for Docker builds and pushes — the action this course uses for containerized deployment.
Official caching action for GitHub Actions — essential for fast pipelines by caching dependencies between runs.
Curated list of GitHub Actions and workflows. The best reference for finding pre-built actions for any CI/CD task.
You deploy code manually or via FTP. This course shows you how to automate testing and deployment so you can ship faster with more confidence.
Your team is migrating from Jenkins or another CI platform. This course gets you productive with GitHub Actions quickly.
You own CI/CD infrastructure and want a structured reference for the most common pipeline patterns and optimization techniques.
