Welcome to the Git CI/CD Tutorial! This guide will walk you through setting up a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline using Git. Let's get started!

What is CI/CD? 📌

CI/CD is a software development practice that involves:

  • Continuous Integration: Automatically merging code changes from multiple contributors into a shared repository.
  • Continuous Deployment: Automatically deploying code changes to production after passing tests.

It helps teams deliver code faster and with fewer errors. 💡

Step-by-Step Guide 🔧

1. Install Git 📦

First, ensure Git is installed on your system. For Linux:

sudo apt-get install git

For macOS:

brew install git

For Windows, download from https://git-scm.com. 🍎

git_install

2. Initialize a Repository 🧾

Create a new Git repository:

git init

Or clone an existing one:

git clone https://github.com/your-repo.git

3. Configure CI/CD Pipeline 🛠️

Use tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins to automate:

  • Building your code
  • Running tests
  • Deploying to servers

Example GitHub Actions workflow:

name: CI/CD Pipeline
on: [push]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: 18
      - run: npm install && npm test
ci_cd_setup

4. Automate Deployment 🚀

Set up deployment triggers in your .github/workflows file:

deploy:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  needs: build
  steps:
    - run: echo "Deploying to production..."

Tips for Success 📝

  • Use descriptive commit messages ✅
  • Keep your CI/CD pipeline simple and secure 🔒
  • Monitor pipeline logs for errors 📊
