Whether you're tweaking your CI steps or verifying a successful deployment, this guide helps you stay in control—without leaving your editor.
🎯 What You’ll Learn:
🛠️ Updating Your GitHub Actions Workflow
Open .github/workflows/ci.yml in VS Code
→ Modify steps, triggers, or environment settings
→ Example: Add a new test step
name: Run Playwright Tests
run: npm run test:e2e
Validate YAML Syntax
→ Use VS Code’s GitHub Actions extension for auto-completion and error highlighting
→ Comment your changes for clarity
Commit & Push the Updated Workflow
→ Use Source Control panel to stage and commit
→ Push changes to GitHub to trigger the workflow

📊 Checking the Pipeline Run in VS Code UI
Use the GitHub Actions Extension
→ View workflow runs directly in the Current Branch panel
→ Monitor job status, logs, and step-level details
Track Real-Time Execution
→ Watch your pipeline progress without switching to GitHub
→ Restart failed jobs or trigger manual runs if needed
Debug Failures with Logs & Metadata
→ Access logs for each step
→ View environment variables, secrets, and error traces

🧪 Real-World Use Cases:
Updating test commands or Node versions in CI
Monitoring Playwright test results after each push
Debugging failed deployments or flaky builds
Collaborating with teammates on workflow improvements
