Setting up ci using github actions

name: Build jsng 
on:
  push:
    branches: [ development ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ development ]

the above part is the first part of the workflow * name defines a name to you workflow can be any name of your choice * on defines on which event this workflow should be triggered. in the above example it will be triggered on each push to master and on each pr as well

  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps: 
      - uses: actions/checkout@master 
      - uses: jpetrucciani/black-check@master
      - name: Gathering deps #defining another step with a name
        run: | # commands to be run in this step
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install git python3-pip python3-venv python3-setuptools tmux -y
          sudo pip3 install poetry

• jobs workflow run is made up of one or more jobs. Jobs run in parallel by default. you can control if you want them to run sequentially by using jobs..need
• runs-on Each job runs in an environment specified by runs-on.
• steps #A job contains a sequence of tasks called steps.
• uses Selects an action to run as part of a step in your job. An action is a reusable unit of code. You can use an action defined in the same repository as the workflow, a public repository, or in a published Docker container image.
• uses: actions/checkout@master This used to checkout the repo in the workspace
• uses: jpetrucciani/black-check@master using action black-check to check if code is blacked or not
• run defines commands to be run on this step, can be bash commands or python...etc. check the github actions docs for more on this

- name: Install
  uses: abatilo/actions-poetry@v1.5.0 
  with:
    python_version: 3.6 
    poetry_version: 1.0.5 
    args: install 

in the above step we are using poetry action, ready in market place with defines the versions and commands to be done on poetry install in this example
