Hi @Jiyath5516F,
GitHub Actions lets you automate tasks like building, testing, and deploying your code. In a CI/CD workflow:

• CI (Continuous Integration): It automatically tests and builds your code every time you push changes, ensuring no new bugs.
• CD (Continuous Delivery): It automatically deploys your code to production or staging when changes are ready.

GitHub Actions are scripts or tasks that automate steps in GitHub Actions workflows, such as running tests or deploying. They help in CI/CD workflows by automating repetitive processes and integrating with other tools, making the pipeline more efficient and modular.

CI/CD is a practice aimed at improving the quality and agility of software development. Continuous Integration (CI) ensures that code is automatically tested and integrated into the repository, while Continuous Delivery or Deployment (CD) automates the delivery of code to production, enabling faster and safer updates.
