![]() ![]() First, for the purpose of this exploration, I have briefly researched alternative tools like Bitrise, CircleCI, and TeamCity by JetBrains. Why GitHub Actions?īefore continuing our exploration into why GitHub Actions is a better option than other CI/CD tools, let’s first make a couple of disclaimers. For more information about what GitHub Actions are and what they do, check out what my fellow LogRocketeer had to say about the topic in this article, or go straight to the source and read the GitHub Actions official documentation. Instead of diving into GitHub Actions’ broad functionality, we’ll instead do a quick comparison with some of its competition, and follow that by showing how to get it set up for Android. For example, you can run a workflow to automatically add the appropriate labels whenever someone creates a new issue in your repository. Because of the virtual proximity of the GitHub Actions pipeline to your code, this tool also allows for them to go beyond just DevOps and lets you run workflows when other events happen in your repository. GitHub Actions is GitHub’s answer to the increasing demand for good and simple CI/CD tools. In this article, I will go over one such tool, GitHub Actions, and its application into modern Android development. With the increased interest and dependence of software companies on CI/CD tools, many new options have been appearing that offer similar products aimed at facilitating and automating much of the development process for programmers. ![]() Modern software development teams have became increasingly reliant on CI/CD practices - or continuous integration and continuous delivery, to be more precise - as they save developers and testers alike precious time by automating much of the manual labor that is needed to get the code from a development state and into production. According to GitLab, a good CI/CD pipeline can maximize development time by improving an organization’s productivity, increasing efficiency, and streamlining workflows through built-in automation, testing, and collaboration. Android CI/CD using GitHub ActionsĬI/CD is a DevOps practice that allows development teams to push changes that get automatically tested and sent out for delivery and deployment. ![]() Ivan Garza Follow Ivan is an Android engineer at Mixhalo, a passionate fútbol fan, and an amateur salsa maker. ![]()
