Currently, the stevedunn/pacmanblazor project does not have a CI/CD configuration set up. To facilitate automated builds, tests, and deployments, you can implement a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline by following these next steps.

1. Choose a CI/CD Service

Select a CI/CD service that aligns with the project’s hosting and version control needs. Some popular options include:

• GitHub Actions
• Azure DevOps
• CircleCI
• Travis CI

For this guide, GitHub Actions will be used as an example.

2. Create a Workflow File

Create a new directory called .github/workflows in your project root. Inside this directory, create a YAML file, e.g., ci-cd.yaml, for defining the CI/CD pipeline.

name: CI/CD Pipeline

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Setup .NET Core
        uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
        with:
          dotnet-version: '6.0.x'

      - name: Restore dependencies
        run: dotnet restore

      - name: Build project
        run: dotnet build --configuration Release

      - name: Run tests
        run: dotnet test --no-restore --verbosity normal

  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: build
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Deploy to [Your Hosting Service]
        run: |
          # Add your deployment script/command here
          echo "Deploying to hosting service"

3. Configure Build Steps

• The build job sets up the environment, restores dependencies, and builds the project.

• The deploy job is conditioned to run only after a successful build on the main branch. It will contain the steps to deploy the application.

4. Deploying to Your Hosting Service

Replace the placeholder in the deploy job’s step with the actual deployment command as per the hosting service you intend to use. For instance, if you are deploying to Azure, your deployment might look something like this:

      - name: Azure Web App Deploy
        uses: azure/webapps-deploy@v2
        with:
          app-name: 'YourWebAppName'
          publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZURE_WEBAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE }}

5. Set Up Secrets

To securely store sensitive information, use GitHub Secrets to store your deployment credentials or API keys. Navigate to the repository settings and add secrets needed for the deployment, like AZURE_WEBAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE.

6. Testing the Pipeline

Once the workflow file is configured, commit and push your changes to the main branch. GitHub Actions will automatically trigger the CI/CD pipeline as defined in the .github/workflows/ci-cd.yaml.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can implement a CI/CD pipeline for the stevedunn/pacmanblazor project. Adjust the YAML configuration as needed based on your specific requirements and deployment preferences.
