freeCodeCamp Wed 14th Jan 2026

Hello code campers! Hello and Happy New Year!

Good news, we're back at Wimbletech on Wed 14th Jan, 6.15PM to help you meet those New Year coding resolutions! 😁 If you are looking to further your coding knowledge, meet new friends or both, we got you ☺️, come and join us!

For this evening, we'll be looking at how to use some of the advance GitHub functionalities, specifically we are going to look at how to use GH Actions ( aka GH CI/CD ) to perform automatic deployments, unit testing scripts and so on. This session will be suitable for all levels - even if you are a beginner, you can use a simple GH action to create something like your portfolio website using GH Pages or if you are an advanced dev you will learn about all the subtleties of GH from managing branches (branch protection) to running Enterprise machines or finding ways to reduce the cost of running GH actions either by optimising your deployments or getting rid of GitHub altogether.

Remember, this meetup is open to all coding levels - just bring your enthusiasm to learn and share, and a laptop.

Agenda:
18:15 - 18:30 Arrival & Networking
