GitHub Actions CI Workflow
Automate Node project testing and build with a reusable GitHub Actions workflow.
Continuous integration helps catch issues early by running tests on every push or pull request. This GitHub Actions workflow installs dependencies, caches them, runs tests, and optionally builds your app. You can customize the Node version and commands to suit your project.

This workflow triggers on pushes and pull requests to the main
branch. It caches npm dependencies between runs, improving performance. Expand the steps to include linting, code coverage reporting, or deployment actions.
