Your First GitHub Actions CI Pipeline

🛠 Lab from the Platform Engineering Bootcamp. Used in Week 3. Bootcamp landing page: https://academy.tekanaid.com/bootcamps/platform-engineering-bootcamp Parent course(s):

• Week 3: Git, GitHub & CI/CD Fundamentals (slug: git-github-cicd-fundamentals)

In this lab you build your first real CI pipeline against your own TaskFlow fork. You connect the lab to the fork you created in Week 1, then author a GitHub Actions workflow that builds the real Vue frontend and runs the real FastAPI backend tests on every push, watching it turn green in your own GitHub account.

You'll learn to:

• Connect a lab environment to your TaskFlow fork with the GitHub CLI
• Author a GitHub Actions workflow in YAML that targets a real application
• Build the real frontend (Node.js) and test the real backend (Python) in CI
• Trigger workflows on push and pull request events
• Watch a live workflow run and read its results with the gh CLI

By the end you have a working, green CI workflow living in .github/workflows/ on your own GitHub repository, a genuine portfolio asset.
