GitHub Continuous Integration
Posted on September 2, 2020 in Git, GitHub by Matt Jennings

Continuous Integration Info

• Merging smaller commits frequently, instead of waiting until a project is “done” and doing one big merge.
• This means that features can be released quicker!
• CI only works well when there are tests that ensure that new commits didn’t “break the build”.
• It’s even possible to perform a deployment at the end of a CI build!

Travis CI Integrates with GitHub

• Travis CI is free for open source projects!
• Tests run automatically on branches and pull requests.
• Getting set up:
  • Go to https://travis-ci.org/, login with your GitHub account.
  • Add a travis.yml configuration file.
  • Push to trigger builds.
