Common Continuous Integration Team Scenarios

The course guides participants through situations commonly encountered when integrating continuously as a team.

Start free course

This course will give you practical skills of doing Continuous Integration (CI) in a GitHub-based repository.

You learned Git commands but sometimes not sure how real-world Continuous Integration is done? Or maybe you already doing it but want to understand the theory better to fine-tune your everyday actions? This course will help. During the course, you'll practice common continuous integration actions. It isn't intended to be a click-through wizard-style experience, instead you'll do what developers do during their daily work the way they do it. I'll explain the theory as you reach relevant steps.

What you'll do

Here is a GIF showing commits in your repository as you will go through the course. As you see, nothing is complicated and everything is essential.

Continuous Integration Steps

You'll go through these common CI scenarios:

  • Working on a feature;
  • Using auto tests to ensure quality;
  • Implementing a bugfix;
  • Resolving merge conflicts;
  • Dealing with a bug in production.

What you'll learn

You'll be able to answer the questions:

  • What is Continuous Integration, really?
  • What types of auto tests are used with CI and when they are triggered?
  • What are pull requests and when you need them?
  • What is Test Driven Development and how it relates to CI?
  • To merge or to rebase?
  • To roll back or to fix forward?

  • Have some programming experience to understand concepts given during the course;
  • Understand Git to be able to perform course actions;
  • Have some experience with GitHub.
