-- **Faster GitHub Actions:** Hosted GHA runners for faster runs at a fraction of the cost!
-- **Faster Docker Builds:** Remote Docker builders for massive container build speedups!
-- **Continuous Integration Visibility:** Clear metrics and analytics to enable further CI optimization!
-
-## 📚 Course Outline
-- **History & Motivation:** why pipeline automation matters and the deployment metrics it influences.
-- **Why GitHub Actions?:** managed runners, marketplace, and comparisons with other CI/CD tools.
-- **Core Features:** workflows, jobs, steps, events, expressions, and secrets.
-- **Advanced Features:** permissions, third-party authentication, caching, artifacts, and runner options.
-- **Marketplace Actions:** discover and safely consume community actions.
-- **Authoring Actions:** composite, reusable, JavaScript, and container actions.
-- **Common Workflows:** validate, build, deploy, and automate your repository.
-- **Developer Experience:** run locally with act, debug runs, and gather insights.
-- **Best Practices:** performance tuning, maintainability, and security.
-- **Capstone Project:** apply everything in a hands-on final exercise.

-## Development Environment Setup
-
-1. **Clone this repository (including submodules)**  
-```bash
-git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:sidpalas/devops-directive-github-actions-course.git
-```
-
-2. **Install DevBox** – DevBox bootstraps all required CLI tools (Go, Node.js, Python, `act`, `task`, `npc`, `civo`, `gh`, `jq`, `yq`, `kubectl`, `kluctl`, ...).  
-   Follow the official installation guide: <https://www.jetify.com/docs/devbox/installing-devbox/index#>
-
-   After installing devbox, run `devbox shell` to start a shell session with these tools installed/configured.
-
-3. **Install Docker Desktop**  
-   Download and install from: <https://docs.docker.com/get-started/introduction/get-docker-desktop/>
-
-4. **Configure VS Code**
-
-      a. **YAML** YAML syntax highlighting & linting
-
-      b. **GitHub Actions** (optional): Workflow file syntax highlighting & snippets
-
-> [!WARNING] 
-> The GitHub Actions extension modifies the "file type" of wiles within /.github/workflows/ causing the YAML extension to not recognize those files.
-> To fix this, you can add an explicit `files.associations` entry to your settings
-> 
-> ```json
-> {
->   "files.associations": {
->     "**/.github/workflows/*.{yml,yaml}": "yaml",
->     "**/Taskfile.{yml,yaml}": "yaml"
->   }
-> }
-> ```
