+# Learning CI with GitHub Actions (Node.js App)
+
+Hi! 👋  
+This repository is a **Node.js backend project** that I randomly picked up (just for learning purposes) and tried implementing **CI (Continuous Integration)** using **GitHub Actions** for the first time.
+
+## 🧠 Why I Did This
+
+I wanted to learn how to:
+- Set up a basic GitHub Actions workflow
+- Automatically run steps like `npm install` after each push
+- Understand how CI works in real-time projects
+
+## 🔧 What I’ve Implemented
+
+✅ **CI (Continuous Integration)** is done!  
+Every time I push code to the `main` branch:
+- GitHub Actions runs automatically
+- It installs dependencies using `npm install`
+- (Optional) It can run tests, but this project doesn't have any test cases yet.
+
+📂 Workflow file location: `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
+
+### GitHub Actions Workflow
+
+```yaml
+
+name: Node.js CI
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [ "main" ]
+  pull_request:
+    branches: [ "main" ]
+
+jobs:
+  build:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+
+    steps:
+      - name: Checkout code
+        uses: actions/checkout@v3
+
+      - name: Setup Node.js
+        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
+        with:
+          node-version: '18'
+
+      - name: Install dependencies
+        run: npm install
+
+      - name: Placeholder test
+        run: echo "No tests defined"
+```
+
+## ❓Did I Do CD (Continuous Deployment)?
+❌ Not yet.
+CD (automatically deploying code to a server or platform like EC2, Vercel, etc.) is not done here.
+
+But I plan to:
+
+Connect this to a server or platform in the next step
+
+Deploy the app automatically once CI passes
+
+## 🏁 How to Run Locally
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/your-username/ci-cd-using-github-action.git
+cd ci-cd-using-github-action
+npm install
+node server.js
+```

+Let me know if you'd like me to help you **implement CD** as your next step — for example, deploying automatically to an EC2 server after CI passes.
