GitHub Actions automates software workflows directly in GitHub repositories, running tests, builds, and deployments triggered by Git events like pushes and pull requests. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented GitHub Actions in CI/CD pipelines throughout my 25 years of development experience. The most straightforward approach is creating workflow files in the .github/workflows directory that define automated jobs triggered by Git events. This method integrates seamlessly with Git operations, providing immediate feedback on code quality and deployment status.

Integrating Git with CI/CD pipelines automates testing, building, and deployment workflows triggered by commits, pull requests, and merges, ensuring code quality before production. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented Git-based CI/CD workflows in production systems throughout my 25 years of development experience. The most practical approach is using GitHub Actions with workflow files in the .github/workflows directory triggered by Git events. This method provides automated validation and deployment without external CI services.

Husky simplifies Git hook management by installing hooks automatically through npm, ensuring all team members use the same pre-commit and pre-push validations. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented Husky in collaborative development workflows throughout my 25 years of development experience. The most effective approach is installing Husky via npm and configuring hooks in package.json or dedicated hook files. This method ensures hooks work consistently across all developers without manual .git/hooks setup.

Pre-commit hooks automatically validate code before commits are created, ensuring code quality and preventing broken code from entering your repository. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented pre-commit hooks in development workflows throughout my 25 years of software development. The most straightforward approach is creating an executable script in the .git/hooks directory that runs linting and tests. This method enforces quality standards automatically without manual intervention.

Git hooks automate workflow tasks by executing custom scripts at specific points in your Git workflow, from linting code before commits to running tests before pushes. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented Git hooks in development workflows throughout my 25 years of software development experience. The most straightforward approach is creating executable scripts in the .git/hooks directory that Git automatically triggers at defined events. This method enforces code quality and consistency without manual intervention.

Scheduling recurring tasks is essential for automation, from database cleanups to periodic data synchronization and report generation. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented task scheduling in Node.js backends throughout my 11 years of server-side development. The most straightforward approach is using the node-cron package, which provides a simple cron-like syntax for scheduling tasks. This method offers flexible scheduling without external dependencies or system cron configuration.
