Frequently Asked Questions
How does GitHub Actions pricing work for CI/CD?
GitHub Actions is free for public repositories and includes 2,000 build minutes per month for private repositories on the free plan. Paid plans start at $4 per user per month and include more minutes, with additional minutes billed per usage.
What are the limitations of the free tier?
The free tier for private repositories includes 2,000 build minutes per month and 500 MB of storage for artifacts and caches. Once those are exhausted, you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan or pay for overages.
Does GitHub Actions work with other CI/CD tools?
Yes, GitHub Actions can integrate with third-party tools like Jenkins, CircleCI, and GitLab CI via APIs and webhooks, but it is natively designed to replace them. You can also use custom actions from the marketplace to connect to services like AWS, Azure, and Slack.
Can I run GitHub Actions for projects not hosted on GitHub?
No, GitHub Actions is tightly integrated with GitHub repositories. To use it, you need to host your code on GitHub. For other git hosts, you'd need a different CI/CD solution.
What operating systems and runners are available?
GitHub provides hosted runners for Ubuntu (24.04, 22.04), Windows Server (2022, 2019), and macOS (Sonoma, Monterey). You can also self-host runners on your own infrastructure for custom hardware or operating systems.
How do I debug failures in GitHub Actions?
You can view logs in the Actions tab of your repository, download logs, or use built-in debugging tools like step debugging with `ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG` and remote SSH via `tmate` for interactive troubleshooting.
