{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} helps your team work faster at scale. When large repositories start using {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}, pull requests are typically merged faster, allowing teams to merge more pull requests per day.

{% ifversion ghec %}You can enjoy the convenience of {% data variables.product.company_short %}-hosted runners, which are maintained and upgraded by {% data variables.product.company_short %}, or you{% else %}You{% endif %} can control your own private CI/CD infrastructure by using self-hosted runners.

{% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} provides greater control over deployments. For example, you can use environments to require approval for a job to proceed, restrict which branches can trigger a workflow, or limit access to secrets. If your workflows need to access resources from a cloud provider that supports OpenID Connect (OIDC), you can configure your workflows to authenticate directly to the cloud provider. OIDC provides security benefits such as eliminating the need to store credentials as long-lived secrets. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.
