How can Github Actions be utilized to execute 'git pull' on the server upon receiving a pull request submitted to the master branch?

To utilize Github Actions to execute 'git pull' on the server upon receiving a pull request submitted to the master branch, follow these steps:

1. Create a new Github Actions workflow by creating a .yml file in the .github/workflows directory. For example, create a file named "pull-request.yml".

2. Define the event that should trigger the workflow to run. In this case, the trigger should be a new pull request created on the master branch. Add the following code to the "on" section of the workflow file:

on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - master

1. Define the steps that should be executed when the workflow runs. In this case, the step should be to execute a 'git pull' command on the server. Add the following code to the "jobs" section of the workflow file:

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: [server]
    steps:
    - name: Pull latest changes
      run: |
        ssh user@server 'cd /path/to/repo/ && git pull'

1. Save the changes to the workflow file and commit them to the master branch.

Now, whenever a new pull request is created on the master branch, Github Actions will trigger the workflow defined in the "pull-request.yml" file. This workflow will run on a server (as defined in the "runs-on" section), and it will execute a 'git pull' command on the server to pull the latest changes from the master branch.
