Automating CI Workflows with GitHub Actions for C, Python, Java & Beyond
In modern software development, continuous integration (CI) is essential for maintaining high-quality, reliable, and secure code. This hands-on workshop will demonstrate how to leverage GitHub Actions to automate critical stages of the software development lifecycle—across multiple programming languages including C/C++, Python, and Java.
Participants will learn to build robust CI pipelines that automate tasks such as building code, running tests, enforcing coding standards, and measuring code coverage. Through practical examples and demos, the session will walk through creating workflows that not only catch bugs early but also promote clean, maintainable code.
