The robots on GitHub that start by themselves on certain events, for example a new PR, and run the steps you wrote, Claude included.
How it appears in the course
GitHub Actions is like an automatic doorman for the building: every time someone comes in with a change, it calls the handyman to check.
GitHub Actions is the GitHub service that does this. Imagine a robot on GitHub that runs checks every time you save changes there.
GitHub Actions is a robot on GitHub. With /install-github-app you connect Claude to it.
