How can I automate my tests using Git?

You can automate your tests with Git by integrating a CI/CD tool like Jenkins or GitHub Actions. Would you like to know how to set that up?

Yes, please explain how to set up GitHub Actions for testing.

To set up GitHub Actions, create a .github/workflows directory in your repository and add a YAML file that defines your testing workflow.

What should I include in the YAML file?

In the YAML file, specify the trigger events, the jobs to run, and the steps for your testing framework. For example, you can use on: push to trigger tests on every push.

Can you give me a sample YAML configuration?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

name: CI
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v2
        with:
          node-version: '14'
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm install
      - name: Run tests
        run: npm test
