GitHub Actions is a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) platform that is built directly into GitHub.
In simple terms, it's a way to tell GitHub: "When this event happens (e.g., someone pushes code), run this automated process (e.g., run tests, deploy the website)."
GitHub Actions was not always available, and for many years, tools like Jenkins (along with others like Travis CI, CircleCI, etc.) were the industry standard for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD).
traditional tools like Jenkins (or CircleCI, Travis CI, etc.) perform the same CI/CD functions as GitHub Actions.
The key reason GitHub (and other repository hosts like GitLab and Bitbucket) built their own integrated CI/CD platforms is to offer simplicity, deeper integration, and a unified experience for the entire developer workflow.
