# Guide for using KiBot with Github Actions.
# Guide for using KiBot with GitHub Actions.
Author: @sethkaz
This is a guide for getting started using KiBOT with Github Actions.
This is a guide for getting started using KiBot with GitHub Actions.
## Basics
[Github Actions](https://github.com/actions) is a CI system that runs on Github. It uses [YAML files](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/YAMLSyntax.html) to define what actions it will take. Unfortunately, some of the links between YAML lines and their associated actions are a bit cryptic. This guide will try to shed light on those cyptic portions.

## Caveats, Gotchyas, and Pitfalls
1. KiBot requires a `{meaningful_name}.kibot.yaml` file name scheme. While most places use `*.yml` and `*.yaml` interchangeably, it is specific here that `*.kibot.yml` won't work. This is especially odd since github uses `*.yml` and kibot uses `*.yaml`.

## Different ways of doing things
This section will try to describe some different options for doing things within KiBot and Github, and hope to explain pros and cons.
