How can I use GitHub Actions for my Python project?

You can automate your Python project workflows using GitHub Actions by creating a YAML file in the .github/workflows directory.

What should I include in the YAML file?

Include the name of the workflow, the trigger events (like push or pull request), and the jobs that define the steps to run your Python code.

Can you give me an example of a simple workflow?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

name: Python CI
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: '3.8'
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          python -m pip install --upgrade pip
          pip install -r requirements.txt
      - name: Run tests
        run: |
          pytest

How do I trigger this workflow?

This workflow will automatically trigger on every push or pull request to your repository. You can also trigger it manually if needed.
