Scenario: Use Github Actions for continuous integration and deploy to Azure

Solution:

Per Github:

GitHub Actions makes it easy to automate all your software workflows, now with world-class CI/CD. Build, test, and deploy your code right from GitHub. Make code reviews, branch management, and issue triaging work the way you want.

1. Under .github folder -> create "workflows" -> Create file build-and-deploy.yml
2.  Azure -> App Service -> Get Publish Profile -> Download file -> Copy content 
3.  Githib -> repository -> Actions-> Secrets -> New Repository Secret [AZURE_WEBAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE] -> Value from #3
4. build-and-deploy.yml
