What started as a quick Python script to solve a small annoyance eventually turned into a tool now used by 60,000+ people.

In this talk, I’ll share the story behind the project and how GitHub Actions power the automation that keeps it running. We’ll cover what GitHub Actions are, how they’re typically used, and some unconventional ways they can automate the things you’d rather not do yourself.

If you’ve ever wished the boring parts of your job or project would just run themselves, this talk is for you.
