<p>CI, or continuous integration, is, as the post days, the process of everyone merging their changes at least once, or usually several, times a day.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It isn't something that is configured or created - it's a process.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="here%27s-the-thing">Here's the thing</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can do CI without a CI pipeline and vice versa.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can have a CI pipeline but not do continuous delivery or deployment.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>What most people think of as CI or CI/CD is a set of automated checks that run when code is updated - usually on a feature or topic branch.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Whilst important, it's not "CI".</p>
