Course is very good but could have been great with more preparation. Too much time is just random jumping among many tabs and "I guess it is like this", "let's try this", "not sure what this does" etc.

[dirremoire]

Saw a job posting asking for 10 years experience with Giithub actions 😆

Thanks a ton, perfect timing for me :) I liked the troubleshooting live without cutting the video up. It's a bit longer but one can learn interesting things from it. Just noticed a small typo in 2:23:32, it should be AKS instead in there.

[modeking]

First view and first like. Thanks for changing our lives.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[cool.pushpat]

This is first video i liked and commented on

[carlosjosechaconchavarria]

great series, any chance to add the Github video course for Admin or Security? thanks a lot for making this available to everyone

[Axorax]

The end is quite chaotic but thank you so much <3

[dusdnd]

There is always a tell when a "prolific creator" doesn't have the skills needed. Not knowing where in the GitHub UI to manually trigger a workflow is this video's tell. That has got to be the first way everyone learns.

[prakasha]

when gitlab ci/cd certification is coming. thanks

[Marketblank]

What are the minimum prerequisites for this tutorial and certificate

[whodis]

Hi, I don't know if someone has already asked this before but where can I find the GitHub repo for the video

[AK-oxmv]

Last time I participated in class you weared winter clothes on a minus 7 degree office 😀
Thanks for your cources ✌️

[gonzalopereira]

You cant use : without escaping it...thats the typo from webhooks and on and on. You can just remove or escape :, not everything

[jhonsen]

Guy is Teaching Git Hub Actions with Cracking code interviews.

Thanks for putting this video together and sharing your knowledge!. But to be honest, the frequent pauses and moments when you're unsure made it a bit hard to follow. A bit of editing or some prep beforehand would make it a lot smoother.

Not trying to complain about free content. Just some feedback of someone trying to learn the study material. Looking forward to the next videos.

Hi,

I can see the struggle you have try to fix yamls on expression at 01:29:00 and other things, the reason why you getting error is because you got colon(:) in the double quotes. Thanks me later, nice tutorial though :D

[veiwecl]

At 01:44:10, bro struggled to run the self-hosted runner and gave up at last. Actually he forgot to run one of the main command - "./run.sh" :)

[bilalillahi]

Confusing. It would be better if you came prepared.

[disrael]

this guy looks like he's high on mdma or something lol so chill i like that haha

[ljw]

With all due respect, this is very chaotic and hard to follow...
