Jira Core vs Github Actions: What are the differences?

Developers describe Jira Core as "A Business project management software". It is a JIRA application that provides you with a workflow management system that you can use for many things, including running projects, tracking assets, and basically anything that requires work moving through a workflow. On the other hand, Github Actions is detailed as "Automate your workflow from idea to production". It 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.
