??? I literally was trying to learn about GitHub Actions THIS MORNING, and here you are with a half-hour video explaining everything. Thank you!

[mathunpeeled]

I absolutely love this git, github series! I watched old ones they were really good I am so happy you did a new one!

This has been amazing! May have to watch the webinar replay.
Planning out making my own game engine rn, and I'm actually ACTUALLY gonna use git this time. (I really need the advantage!!!)
Probably gonna misuse the branches a little bit; using them to run projects and games with premature versions, (Some, practically no version) and use that to add necessary features to the main, before rebuilding the games.
Thank you so much for everything through the years! You have been an invaluable resource to many! I hope one day to match or beat your level of contribution to humanity!!!

Thanks for your videos!! Which cloud repository would you recommend GitHub or Azure DevOps? It would be interesting a video comparing their features, pros and cons...

Hi, I subscribed to your channel I think your content is valuable. I have not watched other of your videos but at least for this oneI have some recommendations: do not ever use zoom in zoom out as you did in this video, you drove me crazy and dizzy. Additionally: do not be in a hurry, the mouse must be moved the less as possible and should move only to point and make clear where to see in your screen while you explain, the scroll down/up must be smooth, transitions among different windows must be clear and slow. Do not make your audience waiste time going back and forward because of the observations I made. Thank you!

[popguy]

thank you for the video, say for monorepo, is it possible to run only FE/BE jobs depends on the PR updates? for example my pr only include javascript code changes so I would like to only run the FE job instead of all jobs together with BE

With the Branch Protection Rules, will the pull request always be in red like that? I believe I have everything set up correctly but my brain is telling me that checking that red box and merging is not the way to merge onto a protection branch... It feels like I'm bypassing the correct steps of the Protected Branch Merge Process.

Setting the secret the way shown in this video led me to getting errors. It would interpret the secret as an empty string. Instead I followed those instructions to use a secret and get it working. I hope it helps someone having this issue:

1. Go to the main page of your GitHub repository.
2. Click on the Settings tab located at the top of the page.
3. In the left sidebar, click on "Secrets and Variables"
4. Click on "Actions"
5. Click the green "New repository secret" button.
6. Input your secret information and cilck "Add secret".
