Migrating to Github Actions, the Awesome and the Awful

GitHub Actions provides a powerful framework for running tasks directly from within GitHub. As a tech lead for https://rome2rio.com I've recently ported 126 Azure DevOps build jobs to GitHub Actions (and I'm still mostly sane) - plus a custom deployment system. Let's cover the basics of workflows and then move on to triggers, PR checks, composite actions, deployments & self hosted runners.
