# Context:
USER: how can i run my tests in ci on github?
ASSISTANT: To run your tests in a CI environment on GitHub, you can use GitHub Actions. Here's a step-by-step guide to set up a basic Python testing workflow:
1. Create a new directory named `.github` in the root of your repository if it doesn't exist.
2. Inside the `.github` directory, create another directory named `workflows`.
3. Create a new file named `python-tests.yml` inside the `workflows` directory.
Now, add the following content to the `python-tests.yml` file:
```yaml
.github/workflows/python-tests.yml
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL

name: Python Tests

- name: Install dependencies
run: |
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
- name: Run tests
run: |
python -m unittest discover

```
This workflow will run your tests on every push and pull request to the `main` branch using Python versions 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9.
After you've added the `python-tests.yml` file to your repository, GitHub Actions will automatically start running your tests according to the specified workflow.
