Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) helps automate repetitive tasks like testing and deploying, allowing developers to focus on writing features.
GitHub Actions is recommended for setting up CI/CD workflows within a GitHub repository.
The article guides on setting up a simple CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions to reduce manual errors, ease deployment, and save time.
Prerequisites include having a GitHub account and basic knowledge of YAML syntax and GitHub.
Create a YAML file in the .github/workflows folder, defining triggers, setting up Python, installing pylint, and configuring pylint checks.
The pipeline checks for docstrings in the codebase with specific pylint configurations.
After committing and pushing changes, the pipeline runs automatically on the main branch showing yellow or green dots based on success or failure.
Testing the set pipeline involves checking GitHub Actions and detailed results to ensure correct configuration and execution.
GitHub Actions automates checks on code commits or pull requests, aiding in identifying errors early in the development cycle.
Implementing CI/CD with GitHub Actions enhances development efficiency by automating checks and ensuring smoother code deployments.
