What is a Github action and how do they work?

What benefits do Github actions provide?

What types of trigger actions can a workflow use? What do they do?

1. A github action is a simple workflow that Github can do. Use can use them to test code, or compress images, among other things.

2. You can set up something to auto test code whenever a new code is pushed. That way you can tell if whatever was pushed broke your code.

3. The types are workflow, scheduled, webhooks, and external. The workflow is the one I explained above. The scheduled happens every so often. Webhook is something that happens when someone does some action on your github account.
