CI Pipelines Using GitHub Actions
Learn to use GitHub Actions for continuous integration and testing.
Introduction to continuous integration
Continuous integration (CI) is a software development practice that involves regularly integrating code changes from multiple developers into a shared repository. The main objective of CI is to detect integration issues as early as possible by automating the process of building, testing, and validating the codebase.
The purpose of CI is to foster collaboration, ensure code quality, and streamline the development workflow. Instead of waiting for a large chunk of code to be completed before integration, CI encourages developers to integrate their changes frequently, usually multiple times a day. Each integration triggers an automated build and testing process, allowing for rapid feedback and identification of any issues that may arise.
