Now that we've got a thorough test suite, we want to make sure tests are run anytime we push code to GitHub. We can setup GitHub Actions to test our code and automatically deploy it when tests pass.

Testing our URL shortener is very important now that we've implemented edit permissions on Links. We want to make sure everything works as expected for each type of user.
