What you are learning

Pipelight is a CI lab that lint/tests on pull requests. The teaching focus is Actions (GitHub Actions, YAML workflows, artifacts).

Work in order. Early parts set vocabulary and environment; later parts assume the earlier checkpoints.

How to use these lessons

Read the goal, open the matching GitHub folder, complete the lab or exercises, then return for the explanation. If a command fails, check you are in the numbered folder first.
