Real Python: Python Continuous Integration and Deployment Using GitHub Actions

Creating software is a significant achievement, but it requires ongoing maintenance to fix bugs, add features, and ensure security. Agile methodologies emphasize the importance of robust DevOps systems to manage evolving codebases. This tool empowers Python developers to automate workflows and adapt to change seamlessly. Automation enables teams to maintain software quality while adapting to constant change. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) systems produce high-quality software and streamline deployment. GitHub Actions makes CI/CD accessible to all, allowing automation and customization of workflows directly in the repository. This free service enables developers to execute software development processes efficiently, improving productivity and code reliability. In this course, you'll learn how to use GitHub Actions and workflows, automate linting, testing, and deployment of a Python project, secure credentials used for automation, and automate security and dependency updates. By the end of the course, you'll be able to efficiently manage your Python project's workflow.
