Explanation of the diagram
The diagram illustrates a workflow for building and pushing an image to the GitHub Container Registry. It outlines the steps involved in this process, including the creation of three specific tags: pull request number, pull request name, and commit SHA based on the commit made in a pull request. Once the image is in the GCR, a Kubernetes deployment can use the image
