Continuous Integration¶

Continous Integration (CI) is a practice of checking code repositories (typically a few times a day) to test for changes which may cause failures.

CI can be integrated into either scientific programming workflows or into code development

The most popular CI tools are:

Travis CI - fast, easy to set up, cloud based

Circle CI - fast, easy to set up, cloud based

Jenkins - free, can be hosted internally (requires server), highly customizable (plugins)

When to use CI?

building or hosting services to a community

developing versioned copies of containers for public consumption

Travis CI¶

Setup

Circle CI¶

Setup

Jenkins¶

Jenkins is a bit harder to set up because you need a dedicated server

Setup

Badges¶

Status badges can be embedded in a README.md. Badges let you show the state of code or documentation.

You can view a diverse list of different badges on Shields.io

Different Badge Styles¶

Now you can pass the style GET argument, to get custom styled badges same as you would for shields.io. If no argument is passed, flat is used as default.

STYLE	BADGE
