## Prerequisites
Complete all the previous sections of this guide, starting with [Containerize a Python application](containerize.md). You must have a [GitHub](https://github.com/signup) account and a [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/signup) account to complete this section.
## Overview
In this section, you'll learn how to set up and use GitHub Actions to build and test your Docker image as well as push it to Docker Hub. You will complete the following steps:
1. Create a new repository on GitHub.
2. Define the GitHub Actions workflow.
3. Run the workflow.
## Step one: Create the repository
Create a GitHub repository, configure the Docker Hub credentials, and push your source code.
1. [Create a new repository](https://github.com/new) on GitHub.
2. Open the repository **Settings**, and go to **Secrets and variables** >
**Actions**.
3. Create a new **Repository variable** named `DOCKER_USERNAME` and your Docker ID as a value.
4. Create a new [Personal Access Token (PAT)](/manuals/security/for-developers/access-tokens.md#create-an-access-token) for Docker Hub. You can name this token `docker-tutorial`. Make sure access permissions include Read and Write.
5. Add the PAT as a **Repository secret** in your GitHub repository, with the name
`DOCKERHUB_TOKEN`.
6. In your local repository on your machine, run the following command to change
the origin to the repository you just created. Make sure you change
`your-username` to your GitHub username and `your-repository` to the name of
the repository you created.
```console
$ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/your-username/your-repository.git
```
7. Run the following commands to stage, commit, and push your local repository to GitHub.
```console
$ git add -A
$ git commit -m "my commit"
$ git push -u origin main
```
## Step two: Set up the workflow
Set up your GitHub Actions workflow for building, testing, and pushing the image
to Docker Hub.
1. Go to your repository on GitHub and then select the **Actions** tab.
2. Select **set up a workflow yourself**.
This takes you to a page for creating a new GitHub actions workflow file in
your repository, under `.github/workflows/main.yml` by default.
3. In the editor window, copy and paste the following YAML configuration.
```yaml
name: ci
on:
push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Login to Docker Hub
uses: docker/login-action@v3
with:
username: ${{ vars.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Set up Docker Buildx
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
- name: Build and push
uses: docker/build-push-action@v6
with:
platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm64
push: true
tags: ${{ vars.DOCKER_USERNAME }}/${{ github.event.repository.name }}:latest
```
For more information about the YAML syntax for `docker/build-push-action`,
refer to the [GitHub Action README](https://github.com/docker/build-push-action/blob/master/README.md).
## Step three: Run the workflow
Save the workflow file and run the job.
1. Select **Commit changes...** and push the changes to the `main` branch.
After pushing the commit, the workflow starts automatically.
2. Go to the **Actions** tab. It displays the workflow.
Selecting the workflow shows you the breakdown of all the steps.
3. When the workflow is complete, go to your
[repositories on Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/repositories).
If you see the new repository in that list, it means the GitHub Actions
successfully pushed the image to Docker Hub.
## Summary
In this section, you learned how to set up a GitHub Actions workflow for your Python application.

Next, learn how you can locally test and debug your workloads on Kubernetes before deploying.

If you didn't create a [GitHub repository](https://github.com/new) for your project yet, it is time to do it. After creating the repository, don't forget to [add a remote](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/managing-remote-repositories) and ensure you can commit and [push your code](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/using-git/pushing-commits-to-a-remote-repository#about-git-push) to GitHub.
1. In your project's GitHub repository, open **Settings**, and go to **Secrets and variables** > **Actions**.
2. Under the **Variables** tab, create a new **Repository variable** named `DOCKER_USERNAME` and your Docker ID as a value.
3. Create a new [Personal Access Token (PAT)](/manuals/security/for-developers/access-tokens.md#create-an-access-token) for Docker Hub. You can name this token `docker-tutorial`. Make sure access permissions include Read and Write.
4. Add the PAT as a **Repository secret** in your GitHub repository, with the name
`DOCKERHUB_TOKEN`.
## Overview
GitHub Actions is a CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment) automation tool built into GitHub. It allows you to define custom workflows for building, testing, and deploying your code when specific events occur (e.g., pushing code, creating a pull request, etc.). A workflow is a YAML-based automation script that defines a sequence of steps to be executed when triggered. Workflows are stored in the `.github/workflows/` directory of a repository.
In this section, you'll learn how to set up and use GitHub Actions to build your Docker image as well as push it to Docker Hub. You will complete the following steps:
1. Define the GitHub Actions workflow.
2. Run the workflow.
## 1. Define the GitHub Actions workflow
You can create a GitHub Actions workflow by creating a YAML file in the `.github/workflows/` directory of your repository. To do this use your favorite text editor or the GitHub web interface. The following steps show you how to create a workflow file using the GitHub web interface.
If you prefer to use the GitHub web interface, follow these steps:
1. Go to your repository on GitHub and then select the **Actions** tab.
2. Select **set up a workflow yourself**.
This takes you to a page for creating a new GitHub Actions workflow file in
your repository. By default, the file is created under `.github/workflows/main.yml`, let's change it name to `build.yml`.
If you prefer to use your text editor, create a new file named `build.yml` in the `.github/workflows/` directory of your repository.
Add the following content to the file:
```yaml
name: Build and push Docker image
on:
push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
build_and_push:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Login to Docker Hub
uses: docker/login-action@v3
with:
username: ${{ vars.DOCKER_USERNAME }}
password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Set up Docker Buildx
uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
- name: Build and push
uses: docker/build-push-action@v6
with:
push: true
tags: ${{ vars.DOCKER_USERNAME }}/${{ github.event.repository.name }}:latest
```
Each GitHub Actions workflow includes one or several jobs. Each job consists of steps. Each step can either run a set of commands or use already [existing actions](https://github.com/marketplace?type=actions). The action above has three steps:
1. [**Login to Docker Hub**](https://github.com/docker/login-action): Action logs in to Docker Hub using the Docker ID and Personal Access Token (PAT) you created earlier.
2. [**Set up Docker Buildx**](https://github.com/docker/setup-buildx-action): Action sets up Docker [Buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx), a CLI plugin that extends the capabilities of the Docker CLI.
3. [**Build and push**](https://github.com/docker/build-push-action): Action builds and pushes the Docker image to Docker Hub. The `tags` parameter specifies the image name and tag. The `latest` tag is used in this example.
## 2. Run the workflow
Let's commit the changes, push them to the `main` branch. In the workflow above, the trigger is set to `push` events on the `main` branch. This means that the workflow will run every time you push changes to the `main` branch. You can find more information about the workflow triggers [here](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-when-your-workflow-runs/events-that-trigger-workflows).
Go to the **Actions** tab of you GitHub repository. It displays the workflow. Selecting the workflow shows you the breakdown of all the steps.
When the workflow is complete, go to your [repositories on Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/repositories). If you see the new repository in that list, it means the GitHub Actions workflow successfully pushed the image to Docker Hub.
