LOL a software company is more, so much more, than CI. I thought I was going to read something novel about using GitHub actions for tracking sales leads or customer success or something.

Seems like the article and also comments here imply just that.

GitHub Actions aren't focused on CI, so they are much more useful.

Compared to what? ie.. Jenkins, CircleCI, Gitlab's CI/CD...none of them are "focused on CI", and can more or less do anything you want them to. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I'm having trouble thinking of a CI/CD system that is more(or less) focused on CI than Github actions is - do you have some examples?

I'm not familiar with GH, but gitlab is definitely focused on building/running things from a commit in a repo to the point of making it awkward to do ad hoc actions or tasks not clearly tied to one repo. You can do it, but it's harder and has weird restrictions.
