GitHub Actions 101

May 11, 2026

Event recap

On May 11th, in collaboration with the Women for the Future community, I delivered a talk on GitHub Actions for the student body at Tecnológico de Monterrey, campus Guadalajara 🇲🇽.

I prepared a brief introduction to CI/CD, explained key concepts such as workflows, triggers, jobs, runners, steps, and actions, and led a workshop to provide hands-on experience building a test and build pipeline.

If anyone is reading this and wants to learn more about GitHub Actions, I highly recommend following the GitHub Actions Workshop by GitHub. If you get stucked at any point, debugging is always a good way to learn (speaking from experience).
