Telegram is a popular online messaging app, like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. One thing about Telegram that has caught my attention is how easy it is to set up a bot and get it running with some simple commands with the guidance of the BotFather. As Telegram describes it:

• GitLab has CI/CD

I’m working on an Alexa Skill and have my project saved in Bitbucket. Before doing automatic deployment with CI/CD, I run the following Jovo commands in my console after I push my code to dev/staging/master branches in my repository:

• jovo deploy — stage dev
• jovo deploy -p alexaSkill — stage dev -t info

So, let’s get started on how to set up GitHub Actions to run CI/CD pipeline.

In the pull_request section, I have defined the branches I want this yml file to run for when a new Pull Request is opened. I have also defined the steps that I want to run for Continuos…
