This repository demonstrates the power and flexibility of GitHub Actions for automating C program compilation. It provides a basic setup for compiling C code, showcasing how GitHub Actions can be leveraged for continuous integration and development workflows in C projects.

The main goal of this repository is to serve as an educational tool for understanding and implementing GitHub Actions in C programming projects. It includes a simple C program as a starting point and a GitHub Actions workflow that compiles the program upon every push to the repository.

To get started with this repository, you can fork it to your account or clone it directly to your local machine using:

• A GitHub account
• Basic knowledge of git commands
• GCC compiler installed locally (for testing the C program locally)

The GitHub Action workflow is defined in .github/workflows/compile.yml. It triggers on every push event to the repository. The workflow performs the following steps:

1. Checks out the code from the repository to the GitHub Actions runner.
2. Installs GCC on the runner.
3. Compiles the C program using GCC.
4. Optionally, runs the compiled program.

To add your own C program to the repository:

1. Place your C source files in the root directory or a specific directory of your choice.
2. If you placed your C files in a different directory, modify the compile.yml workflow file to change the working directory or specify the path to your C file in the compile command.
3. Commit and push your changes to GitHub.

You can customize the workflow by editing the .github/workflows/compile.yml file. For example, you can add more build steps, integrate with other tools or services, or configure the workflow to run on different events or branches.
