GitHub Actions gives you the power to automate your workflow. Connect with the tools you know and love. Have more freedom to innovate and be creative. Deploy to any cloud, build containers, automate messages, and lots more. It’s time to take control.

There’s lots of amazing Actions built every day. We spoke to some of the coolest developers building the latest Actions. We recently shared Eddie’s story. This week we have Stefan Zweifel. He’s the man behind an awesome Action to detect file changes during a workflow run. Here we share some of Stefan’s story and some great insights into his GitHub Action.

The available services back then weren’t as flexible and easy to understand as GitHub Actions is today.
