🔄 CI/CD Exercise

This repository demonstrates CI/CD concepts and automation.

---

📖 Description

This repository demonstrates core concepts of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD).
The goal is to show:

• How to automatically build and test a project
• How to use GitHub Actions (or another pipeline tool)
• How to implement a good workflow for team collaboration

---

🛠️ Technologies Used

• GitHub Actions – automating builds and tests
• Node.js / Java / Python – (replace with your project language)
• Docker – (optional, for containerization)
• Unit/Integration Tests – to validate functionality
• GitHub – for version control and CI/CD pipeline

---

🚀 How It Works

1. CI Steps:
   • Install dependencies
   • Run unit tests
   • Check code style and quality (linting)
2. CD Steps (if any):
   • Build the project
   • Deploy to a test environment
   • (Optional) Automatic deployment to production

🔍 Example GitHub Actions Workflow

name: CI Pipeline

on:
  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ "main" ]

jobs:
  build-and-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Set up Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: "18"

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm install

      - name: Run tests
        run: npm test
