5G Workflows with GitHub Actions

1. Introduction

5G technology is revolutionizing communication networks, and GitHub Actions can automate workflows to expedite development and deployment processes in this domain. This lesson covers how to leverage GitHub Actions to manage 5G-related workflows.

2. Key Concepts

3. Setting Up GitHub Actions

Follow these steps to set up GitHub Actions for your project:

1. Create a GitHub repository or navigate to an existing one.
2. Go to the "Actions" tab in your repository.
3. Select a template or create a new workflow file, usually located at `.github/workflows/.yml`.

4. Creating Workflows

Below is an example of a simple workflow that runs tests on every push to the `main` branch:

name: CI for 5G Project

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:
    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
            

5. Best Practices

• Use descriptive names for your workflows and jobs.
• Keep your workflows modular by breaking them into smaller reusable components.
• Limit the number of jobs running in parallel to optimize resource usage.
• Utilize secrets for sensitive data, such as API keys.
