GitHub Continuous Integration in 30 minutes or less

GitHub Continuous Integration in 30 minutes or less

Automated testing and deployment shouldn’t take days to configure. In September 2022, I gave a GDG Presentation demonstrating how to set up a fully functional GitHub CI/CD pipeline in under 30 minutes.

Continuous Integration is a cornerstone of modern software development. In this practical talk, I walked through writing GitHub Actions workflows from scratch to build, lint, and test a web application.

Key Takeaways:

  • GitHub Actions Basics: Understanding workflows, jobs, steps, and runners.
  • Automated Quality Audits: Setting up ESLint, Prettier, and test runners on every commit.
  • Caching Dependencies: Speeding up build times by caching node_modules.
  • Pull Request Checks: Configuring branch protection rules based on pipeline status.
