Covers performing CI/CD for SQL Server 2022 using GitHub Actions. For a couple of reasons.

First one is due to the fact that when I answered a question on the well-known SQLHelp hashtag last week I realized I had never shared about deploying updates to SQL Server using GitHub Actions before.

Second reason is due to the fact that I wanted to show how to create an SDK-style database project for SQL Server 2022.
