Continuous Integration

# Introduction

Continuous Integration, or “CI”, is system used to integrate your code by verifying the code with automated builds and tests. Then once verified, you can have your CI perform other actions like deploying to production, for example.

Lucky apps are generated with a default CI using Github Actions. The CI setup will check that all of your code is formatted using the Crystal formatter crystal tool format, then it will run your specs. To activate this, all you need to do is push your code to Github! Once your code is pushed up to Github, Github will run the these two steps.

To update the CI workflow, you’ll make changes to .github/workflows/ci.yml in your application’s directory. Refer to the Github Actions documentation for specifics.

Alternatively, Lucky apps also contain a .travis.yml file for configuring Travis CI.

If you need any additional examples on using a CI with your Lucky application, all of the repos within the Lucky organization contain working Github Actions CI configurations.
