Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline for a Gatsby project using GitHub Actions.
🌐 Overview
In this guide, we will set up a continuous integration (CI) pipeline for a Gatsby project using GitHub Actions.
📝 Configuration

defaults:
run:
shell: bash
jobs:

matrix:
check: ["type:check", "format:check"]
node: ["18", "20"]
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v4

with:
node-version: ${{ matrix.node }}
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm ci
- name: Run Check
run: npm run ${{ matrix.check }}⊹ Matrix Strategy
The matrix strategy in GitHub Actions allows you to define a set of variables and their possible values. It creates a matrix of jobs, where each combination of the defined variables will result in a separate job being executed.
In the given code, the matrix strategy is used to define two variables: check and node. The check variable has two possible values: 'type:check' and 'format:check'. The node variable has two possible values: '18' and '20'. This means that a total of four jobs will be created, representing all possible combinations of the check and node variables.
This matrix strategy is useful when you want to run a set of jobs with different configurations or test against multiple versions of a dependency. It helps to reduce duplication in your workflow file and allows for efficient parallel execution of jobs.
