GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions is a CI/CD workflow service using YAML pipeline configuration. It runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web, with hosted options and self-hosted runners. Projects can use pull-request checks, artifact or dependency caching, and up to 60 parallel jobs. The Free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and includes 2,000 CI/CD minutes per month plus 500 MB of Packages storage. Team costs $4 a month per user and includes 3,000 minutes and 2 GB of storage. Enterprise costs $21 a month per user and includes 50,000 minutes and 50 GB of storage. The listed Team and Enterprise prices apply to the first 12 months. GitHub Actions is freemium, so teams can start without payment and choose paid per-user plans when they need larger monthly minute or package-storage allowances. Hosted and self-hosted runner choices support different workflow arrangements.
