Automation is key for streamlining your work processes, and GitHub Actions is the best way to supercharge your workflow.

• Who is this for: Developers, DevOps engineers, students, managers, teams, GitHub users.
• What you'll learn: How to create workflow files, trigger workflows, and find workflow logs.
• What you'll build: An Actions workflow that will check emoji shortcode references in Markdown files.
• Prerequisites: In this course you will work with issues and pull requests, as well as edit files. We recommend you take the Introduction to GitHub course first.
• How long: This course can be finished in less than two hours.

In this course, you will:

1. Create a workflow
2. Add a job
3. Add actions
4. Merge your pull request
5. See the action run

1. Right-click Start course and open the link in a new tab.
2. In the new tab, most of the prompts will automatically fill in for you.
   • For owner, choose your personal account or an organization to host the repository.
   • We recommend creating a public repository, as private repositories will use Actions minutes.
   • Scroll down and click the Create repository button at the bottom of the form.
3. After your new repository is created, wait about 20 seconds, then refresh the page. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the new repository's README.
