GitHub is a well-known platform hosting thousands of source-code repositories.

Besides, it It also provides issue tracking and basic project management capabilities.

...

In a nutshell, workflows are automated processes described as YAML files, stored under .github/workflows.  These These are usually triggered by events (e.g. code-commit, pull-request) or can also be scheduled.

...

Each time a workflow is triggered, a workflow run is created; it contains a specific context.   Each job in the workflow uses a fresh virtual environment (e.g. ubuntu-latest) sharing the same virtual file system.

...

Environment variables can also be used to access some data and share them , with care. Environment variables are available at workflow, job or step level. GitHub fills out some environment variables by default.

...

To implement the continuous integration, we'll implement a specific workflow for it and store it .github/workflows/CI-jira-onpremises-example.yaml.

We’ll use the actions/checkout action to checkout the code from our repository to the virtual environment.   This action is one of the "standard" actions provided by GitHub (check full list here).

name: CI (Jira on-premises example)
on: [push]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - name: Set up Java
      uses: actions/setup-java@v1
      with:
        java-version: '1.8'
    - name: Cache Maven packages
      uses: actions/cache@v2
      with:
        path: ~/.m2
        key: ${{ runner.os }}-m2-${{ hashFiles('**/pom.xml') }}
        restore-keys: ${{ runner.os }}-m2
    - name: Build with Maven
      run: mvn clean compile test --file java-junit-calc/pom.xml
    - name: Submit results to Xray
      env:
        JIRA_SERVER_URL: ${{ secrets.jira_server_url }}
        JIRA_USERNAME: ${{ secrets.jira_username }}
        JIRA_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.jira_password }}
      run: 'curl -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -u $jira$JIRA_userUSERNAME:$jira$JIRA_passwordPASSWORD -F "file=@target/surefire-reports/TEST-com.xpand.java.CalcTest.xml" "$jira$JIRA_serverSERVER_urlURL/rest/raven/1.0/import/execution/junit?projectKey=CALC"'

In order to submit those results to Xray, we'll just need to invoke the REST API (as detailed in Import Execution Results - REST).

...

To see the runs for your workflows (i.e. workflow runs), you may access the Actions tab in your repository browser.
