Jenkins is an open source automation server which makes it easier to build, test, and deploy software.
Jenkins can help developers automate their software development process and improve their productivity. It can also help users obtain a fresh build of their software project more easily. Jenkins is an important tool for creating a DevOps pipeline.
A DevOps pipeline is a set of processes and tools that enable the continuous delivery of software applications. The term "DevOps" is a combination of the words "development" and "operations." DevOps pipelines are used to automate the build, test, and deploy phases of the software development life cycle.

GitHub Actions is another CI/CD tool (similar to Jenkins) for the GitHub flow. You can use it to integrate and deploy code changes to a third-party cloud application platform as well as test, track, and manage code changes. GitHub Actions also supports third-party CI/CD tools, the container platform Docker, and other automation platforms.
