What are GitHub Actions? Why should I use them? How can I make them?

Find the slides at: https://github.com/JackMcKew/pyconau-2020-github-actions-and-python

GitHub Actions are free-to-use, plug & play blocks of continuous integration / continuous delivery (CICD).

This talk will go into how GitHub actions help me maintain my open source Python packages (Pandas_Alive), and how I released my own GitHub Actions for automating the packaging of Python code to executables with PyInstaller.

Tutorial blog posts I've written:
