• Required: Sign up for the public beta of GitHub Actions. The account that you use for this should be the one you plan on using in the workshop.
• Helpful: Familiarity with GitHub (example training course), JavaScript, and GitHub Actions

Thanks for joining us! In this workshop, we'll take a quick refresher on GitHub Apps and understand how they compare to GitHub Actions. We'll guide you through the decision processes needed when understanding how best to integrate with GitHub. And then, we’ll spend some time walking through the conversion of a GitHub App to an Action.

We'll be working with the following repos, feel free to bookmark these for later!
