CI/CD Pipeline Setup Skill

This skill provides templates and guides to set up a CI/CD pipeline for a Python project using GitHub Actions.

Core Workflow

1. Set up Pre-commit Hooks:

   • Copy the .pre-commit-config.yaml from assets/pre-commit/ to the root of the user's repository.
   • Guide the user to install pre-commit (pip install pre-commit) and set it up (pre-commit install).

2. Set up GitHub Actions Workflows:

   • Create a .github/workflows/ directory in the user's repository if it doesn't exist.
   • Copy assets/github_actions/python_pr_workflow.yml to .github/workflows/. This workflow runs tests and linting on every pull request to main.
   • Copy assets/github_actions/python_deploy_workflow.yml to .github/workflows/. This workflow deploys the application when a PR is merged to main.

3. Configure Secrets:

   • Guide the user to add the necessary secrets for deployment and notifications as described in references/secret_management.md.

4. Set Up Branch Protection:

   • Guide the user through setting up branch protection rules for the main branch as detailed in references/branch_protection.md.
