How to use Netlify for CI/CD
One of the most important aspects of web development, specifically DevOps, is the ability to continuously integrate and continuously deploy (CI/CD). One site that allows us this ability of CI/CD is Netlify. Netlify is a hosting site that allows users to deploy directly from a Github repository. This allows for speed of publishing and for the CI/CD that we desire.
After signing up for a free account through Netlify and logging in you should be presented with your dashboard. The dashboard has a button on it that allows you to add a new site.
After clicking the button it will allow you to import directly from a Github repo.
You may need to connect your Github account to your Netlify account. After that you should be able to select that you would like to deploy from Github.
The next step is to pick the Github Repo that you would like to deploy.
And the final step is the simply click the deploy button.
Congratulations! You’ve deployed a site from a Github repo. Now all you have to do for CI/CD is to push any changes in your code to Github and Netlify will automatically grab the new changes and deploy them for you!
