CICD
Create a Github Account
Since we will be implementing CICD in some of the labs, we will need to set this up. Github is a free to use code repository.
To sign up for a Github account, click here.
Setup Git Locally
In addition to creating the Github account, you will also need to setup Git in your machine.
Setup Travis CI
Travis CI is an opensource CI tool which we can use to build and test our project. Wherever changes are pushed to our Github repo, Travis CI automatically pulls the code and allows us to run tests on it.
Once the code passed the test, Travis CI can automatically deploy our code to AWS.
To setup Travis CI, Go to the Travis CI site and sign up using your SCM account. Choose Sign up with Github.
In the next page, choose Authorize Travis CI. You may need to confirm your account through the email sent to your email address.
In the upper right, click your profile avatar and select Settings.
We will need to select a plan before we can use Travis CI. Choose the Free Trial plan and fill up your personal details. A valid credit/debit card number is also needed to proceed.
In the Repositories tab, click the green Activate button to integrate Travis CI with your Github account. In the next page, click Approve and install.
Click on the Dashboard tab at the top to view all the Github repositories that are synced with Travis CI.
