CI/CD Workflow

The Docker credential helpers project utilizes GitHub Actions for its continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline. This workflow ensures automated builds, testing, and deployment of new features and bug fixes.

GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions are used to automate the build, test, and deployment process. The workflows are defined in the .github/workflows directory.

  • .github/workflows/test.yml: This workflow is responsible for running unit tests on all supported platforms. It uses Docker containers to isolate the test environment.
  • .github/workflows/release.yml: This workflow is triggered on a release event. It builds the Docker image and publishes it to Docker Hub.
  • .github/workflows/build.yml: This workflow is triggered on pushes to the main branch. It builds the Docker image, runs unit tests, and pushes the image to Docker Hub.

Example Workflow:

# .github/workflows/test.yml
          
          name: Test
          
          on:
            push:
              branches:
                - main
          
          jobs:
            test:
              runs-on: ubuntu-latest
              strategy:
                matrix:
                  os: [ubuntu-latest, macOS-latest, windows-latest]
              steps:
                - uses: actions/checkout@v3
                - name: Set up Go
                  uses: actions/setup-go@v3
                  with:
                    go-version: '1.18'
                - name: Build
                  run: go build
                - name: Test
                  run: go test ./...

Deployment

New releases are automatically deployed to Docker Hub. The release.yml workflow builds the Docker image and pushes it to the docker/credential-helpers repository.

CI/CD Best Practices

The CI/CD pipeline for the Docker credential helpers project follows industry best practices. This includes:

  • Automated builds and tests: This ensures consistent quality and reduces the risk of introducing regressions.
  • Continuous deployment: This allows for rapid delivery of new features and bug fixes.
  • Version control: All changes are tracked in Git, providing a complete audit trail.
  • Docker containerization: This provides a consistent and reproducible environment for builds and tests.

The CI/CD pipeline for this project is designed to be flexible and scalable, allowing for the rapid development and deployment of new features while maintaining high quality.
