## 📖 Descripción

GitHub Actions proporciona CI/CD nativo de GitHub para automatizar testing, building y deployment de aplicaciones Flutter y sus backends en un monorepo. Incluye workflows para frontend (Flutter) y backend (Node.js, Python, Go, etc.).

### ✅ Cuándo Usar Este Skill

- Proyecto alojado en GitHub
- Necesitas CI/CD integrado nativamente
- Pipelines simples a medianos
- Free tier generoso (2000 min/mes)
- Monorepo con frontend Flutter + Backend

### ❌ Cuándo NO Usar Este Skill

- Proyecto en GitLab/Bitbucket
- Necesitas runners on-premise complejos
- Preferencia por otras herramientas CI/CD

## 🔐 Secrets Configuration

Configurar en: **Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions**

### Flutter/Mobile Secrets

```
KEYSTORE_BASE64              # Android keystore en base64
KEYSTORE_PASSWORD            # Password del keystore
KEY_ALIAS                    # Alias de la key
KEY_PASSWORD                 # Password de la key
PLAY_STORE_CREDENTIALS       # JSON credentials de Play Store
APP_STORE_ISSUER_ID         # App Store Connect issuer ID
APP_STORE_API_KEY_ID        # App Store Connect API key ID
APP_STORE_API_PRIVATE_KEY   # App Store Connect private key
```

### Backend/Infrastructure Secrets

```
DOCKER_USERNAME              # Docker Hub username
DOCKER_PASSWORD              # Docker Hub password
KUBECONFIG                   # Kubernetes config
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID           # AWS credentials (si usas AWS)
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY       # AWS secret key
```

### General Secrets

```
CODECOV_TOKEN               # Token de Codecov
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL           # Webhook para notificaciones
```

## 🎯 Mejores Prácticas

### 1. Path Filtering

```yaml
# Solo ejecutar cuando cambien archivos específicos
on:
  push:
    paths:
      - 'mobile/**'
      - '.github/workflows/flutter-ci.yml'
```

### 2. Caching

```yaml
# Cache de dependencias Flutter
- uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
  with:
    flutter-version: '3.35.0'
    cache: true

# Cache de Gradle (Android)
- uses: actions/setup-java@v4
  with:
    cache: 'gradle'

# Cache de npm (Backend)
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  with:
    cache: 'npm'
```

### 3. Matrix Strategy

```yaml
strategy:
  matrix:
    os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
    node-version: [18.x, 20.x]
```

### 4. Environments

```yaml
jobs:
  deploy:
    environment: production  # Requiere approval
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
```

### 5. Concurrency Control

```yaml
# Cancelar runs anteriores del mismo PR
concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true
```
