Add initial GitHub Actions workflow for CI

This commit introduces the initial setup for a GitHub Actions workflow, named 'blank.yml', to the Idea Stock Exchange project. It establishes the foundation for continuous integration (CI), ensuring automated testing and linting are performed on pushes and pull requests to the main branch. The workflow is configured with basic steps for setting up the environment (e.g., Node.js), installing dependencies, running linters, and executing tests. This addition marks a significant step towards maintaining code quality and streamlining the development process. Further customization and enhancements to the workflow will be made as the project evolves to include additional automation like deployment and documentation generation.

+To customize the GitHub Actions workflow for the Idea Stock Exchange project, we'll adapt the template to fit the specific needs of the project. This includes setting up automated actions for code integration, testing, and deployment. Here's a revised workflow:
+
+```yaml
+# This workflow is designed for the Idea Stock Exchange project to automate integration and testing
+
+name: Idea Stock Exchange CI
+
+# Controls when the workflow will run
+on:
+  # Triggers the workflow on push or pull request events but only for the "main" branch
+  push:
+    branches: [ "main" ]
+  pull_request:
+    branches: [ "main" ]
+
+  # Allows manual workflow runs from the Actions tab
+  workflow_dispatch:
+
+# A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel
+jobs:
+  # This workflow contains a job for building and testing
+  build_and_test:
+    # Using the latest Ubuntu runner
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+
+    # Sequence of tasks executed as part of the job
+    steps:
+      # Checks-out the repository for access in the job
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+
+      # Set up Node.js environment for JavaScript projects (if applicable)
+      - name: Set up Node.js
+        uses: actions/setup-node@v2
+        with:
+          node-version: '16'
+
+      # Install dependencies (if applicable, for projects using npm)
+      - name: Install dependencies
+        run: npm install
+
+      # Run linting to ensure code quality (if applicable)
+      - name: Run linter
+        run: npm run lint
+
+      # Run automated tests defined in the project
+      - name: Run tests
+        run: npm test
+
+      # (Optional) Add additional steps for deployment or other automated tasks
+      # - name: Deploy to production
+      #   run: <deployment command>
+
+# (Optional) Add additional jobs for deployment, documentation generation, etc.
+```
+
+This workflow:
+
+- Triggers on pushes and pull requests to the `main` branch, and can be manually triggered.
+- Sets up a job called `build_and_test` running on the latest Ubuntu.
+- Checks out the repository for access within the job.
+- Sets up Node.js, installs dependencies, runs linting, and executes tests. (These steps are examples and should be adapted based on the project's tech stack and requirements.)
+- Includes comments for adding additional steps like deployment.
+
+Adjust the script as needed to match the specific requirements of the Idea Stock Exchange project, including the programming language, testing frameworks, and deployment processes.
