CI/CD

The Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline is there to automate the process of building and testing code, with a focus on utilizing tools such as DIS, GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins Pipeline, and others.

The goal is to test, configure, and build the code in various environments, including the lab, staging, and production environment.

This process includes using Git for push and pull requests and utilizing a CI/CD pipeline to automatically trigger and execute multiple steps, such as building the solution, executing unit tests, performing code analysis, running the DIS validator, publishing a new version of the connector, and deploying Automation scripts from a GitHub repository.

Continuous deployment involves creating a dataminer.services key, adding it as a secret in the repository, and adding the Skyline DataMiner Deploy Action to your workflow to streamline the deployment process.
