Setting Up GitHub Repository
To create a new repository on GitHub, follow these steps:
a. Login to your GitHub account and click on the “+” icon at the top-right corner of the page.
b. Select “New repository” from the drop-down menu.
c. Give a name to your repository, add a short description, select if it is public or private, and click on “Create repository”.
d. Your repository is now created and ready to use.
2. Adding code to the repository
Once you have created your repository, you can add your code to it by following these steps:
a. On the repository page, click on the “Add file” dropdown and select “Upload files”.
b. You can either drag and drop your code files or click on “choose your files” to select them from your local system.
c. Once the files are uploaded, add a commit message and click on “Commit changes” to save them in the repository.
3. Setting up branches for development, staging, and production
Branches are used to work on different versions of a codebase simultaneously. To set up branches on your repository, follow these steps:
a. Click on the “Branch: main” dropdown on the repository page and type in the name of the branch you want to create. For example, “development”.
b. Click on “Create branch: development” and you will be redirected to the new branch.
c. Similarly, create branches for staging and production. d. You can now switch between branches by using the branch dropdown and make changes to the code for each branch separately.
Note: It is recommended to use a specific branch for each environment (development, staging, and production) to ensure proper version control and avoid conflicts between different code versions.
4. Working with branches
To work with branches, follow these steps:
a. Switch to the branch you want to make changes in.
b. Make the necessary changes to the code and commit them to the branch.
c. Once the changes are committed, you can merge the branch with the main branch for development or with the staging/production branch for release.
d. To merge branches, click on the “New pull request” button on the branch page and follow the instructions to merge the changes.
e. Once the changes are merged, you can delete the branch if it is no longer needed.3
Setting Up Azure Container Apps
Azure Container Apps is a service offered by Microsoft Azure that provides a simplified deployment and management experience for containerized applications. It allows developers to easily deploy and manage their containerized applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
To create an Azure Container App service, a user can follow these steps:
Log into the Microsoft Azure portal and navigate to the Container Apps service.
Click on the “Create Container App” button to start the creation process.
Next, the user will need to provide details such as the app name, region, and resource group for the service.
The user can choose to either deploy a new container image or use an existing image from a container registry.
Once the necessary details are provided, the user can click on the “Create” button to start the deployment process.
Once the Azure Container App service is created, the user can configure the container image for deployment by following these steps:
In the Container Apps service, click on the app name to open the app’s dashboard.
Click on the “Settings” tab and then select “Container image”.
Here, the user can choose the container image they want to deploy and can also provide additional settings such as the port number and environment variables.
Azure Container Apps also allows users to easily manage their containerized applications through features such as auto-scaling and load balancing. It also provides integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring the health and performance of the deployed apps.
Setting Up CI/CD Pipeline
A CI/CD pipeline is a series of steps that automate the process of building, testing, and deploying code changes. These pipelines ensure that code changes are quickly and consistently applied to the software project. A typical CI/CD pipeline includes the following stages:
Continuous Integration (CI): In this stage, code changes are automatically merged into a shared repository. The code is then built and tested to ensure that it meets the required quality standards. The CI stage is typically triggered by a code commit or a pull request.
Continuous Deployment (CD): In this stage, the validated code changes are automatically deployed to the production environment. The CD stage is usually triggered by a successful CI build.
Continuous Delivery (CD): Continuous delivery is an optional stage in the CI/CD pipeline. In this stage, the validated code changes are automatically delivered to a staging or testing environment for further validation before being deployed to production.
How to configure GitHub Actions for CI/CD?
GitHub Actions is a feature of GitHub that allows you to create and manage CI/CD pipelines for your repositories. It provides a visual workflow editor that allows you to define the steps of your pipeline and execute them on different events, like a code commit or a pull request. To configure GitHub Actions for your repository, follow these steps:
Step 1: Enable GitHub Actions for your repository
First, you need to enable GitHub Actions for your repository by going to the “Actions” tab and selecting “Set up this workflow”.
Step 2: Choose a workflow template
GitHub Actions provides many pre-defined workflow templates for different programming languages and frameworks. You can select a template that suits your project or choose to start from scratch.
Step 3: Define the steps for your workflow
Next, you must define the steps of your workflow. These steps will be executed in the order in which they are defined. You can use different actions available in the GitHub marketplace to perform various tasks, like building, testing, and deploying your code.
Step 4: Configure your triggers
GitHub Actions allows you to trigger your workflow on different events like a code commit, pull request, or a new release. You can configure your triggers by editing the “on” section of your workflow file.
Step 5: Test and save your workflow
Once you have defined your workflow, you can test it by pushing a code change or creating a pull request. If the workflow runs successfully, you can save it by committing the changes to your repository.
