Is Jenkins and GitHub same?
Jenkins and GitHub Actions both allow you to create workflows that automatically build, test, publish, release, and deploy code. Jenkins and GitHub Actions share some similarities in workflow configuration: Jenkins creates workflows using Declarative Pipelines, which are similar to GitHub Actions workflow files.
