GitHub Actions CI/CD Tutorial for Beginners | Automate Install & Build on Every Push

In this video, we create a simple GitHub Actions CI workflow for a Next.js project. The workflow automatically runs whenever code is pushed to GitHub. It installs the project dependencies and checks whether the application builds successfully. You will learn: What CI/CD means What GitHub Actions is How to create a workflow file How to run npm ci and npm run build How to inspect a failed workflow How to fix the error and get a successful build Why real software teams use automated checks We will first push working code and see a green successful build. Then we will intentionally introduce a TypeScript error, inspect the failed build logs, fix the problem and push again. name: Build Next.js Application on: push: permissions: contents: read jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: name: Checkout repository uses: actions/checkout@v6 name: Set up Node.js uses: actions/setup-node@v6 with: node-version: 22 cache: npm name: Install dependencies run: npm ci name: Build application run: npm run build This is Day 29 of the 30-Day Real Software Development Skills Sprint, focused on practical CI/CD and team workflows. #GitHubActions #CICD #GitHub #Nextjs #WebDevelopment #SoftwareDevelopment #DevOps #Programming
