Using GitHub Actions to deploy a .Net Web App

So I wanted to take a look into GitHub Action’s and deploy a .Net Web App, this is my first real look into them and will be blogging about them a lot more in the future, below are the steps I took to do this.

I then go into my Resource Group, locate the app service and from the click on ‘Get publish profile‘ – download the file and keep handy.
