This is the last post in a mini-series on designing Gitlab CI/CD pipelines. We’ve discussed the basic anatomy of a .gitlab-ci.yml file, how to set up authentication tokens and files for building and pushing packages to a registry, and designing a Dockerfile for building images from a package in the context of a CI/CD pipeline.
This is the third post in a mini-series on designing Gitlab CI/CD pipelines. In the last post, we discussed setting up your .pypirc and .netrc files in the context of a Gitlab CI/CD pipeline to enable building and pushing packages to a package registry, as well as for installing code from a private registry.
This is the second post in a mini-series on designing Gitlab CI/CD pipelines. In order to build packages and push them to a remote package registry, we use the build and twine packages. build generates a package, and twine pushes this package to a registry (or “index”).
I recently developed a template workflow to help our team adopt a CI/CD-based development strategy. Many of our web applications and tools were based on simple repository structures. With growing datasets and ever-increasing use by outside teams, we found ourselves needing to add new features more frequently to many of these tools and believed that continuous integration and deployment could help us not just develop more quickly, but also more intelligently.
