Project overview

CI/CD with GitHub Actions: Beginner-friendly guide

This project simulates a real-world DevOps documentation task.
It is designed to help absolute beginners understand the core concepts of CI/CD and get hands-on experience by setting up a workflow using GitHub Actions.

Rather than just theory, this documentation walks you through creating your first workflow step by step, and uses a practical example (Lychee Broken Link Checker) to make things more concrete.
