GitHub Actions
Automate your workflow from idea to production.
Overview
GitHub Actions makes it easy to automate all your software workflows, now with world-class CI/CD. Build, test, and deploy your code right from GitHub. It is a very common choice for the CI part of an Argo CD workflow. A GitHub Action can be configured to build a container image, push it to a registry, and then update a manifest file in the Git repository, which Argo CD then detects and deploys.
