GitHub Actions help you automate tasks within your software development life cycle. GitHub Actions are event-driven, meaning that you can run a series of commands after a specified event has occurred. For example, every time someone creates a pull request for a repository, you can automatically run a command that executes a software testing script. You can launch actions using GitHub runners or self-hosted (managed by you).

Self-hosted runners can be physical, virtual, in a container, on-premises, or in a cloud.This article describes how to create a self-hosted runner using docker.
