SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill establishes and manages a dependable C++ build, Git, and Continuous Integration (CI) workflow, ensuring predictable project delivery and release processes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local Workflow: Defines canonical build targets (release, debug, test, etc.) and ensures reproducible environments.
  • Git Workflow: Enforces branching strategies, atomic commits, CI checks before merging, semantic version tagging, and changelog synchronization.
  • CI Pipeline Design: Creates build matrices for multi-platform support, separates job types, caches dependencies, and uses least-privilege tokens.
  • Release & Compatibility: Automates release pipelines from tags, verifies artifacts, and tracks compatibility with upstream versions.

Quick Start

Use the cpp-ci-workflow skill to set up a new C++ project's build and CI pipeline.

Frequently Asked Questions about cpp-ci-workflow

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to set up a C++ CI pipeline with GitHub Actions and CMake?▼

A C++ CI pipeline setup defines canonical build targets and creates a multi-platform build matrix in GitHub Actions. It separates job types, caches dependencies, and enforces CI checks before merging to ensure reproducible builds.

How do I automate semantic version tagging and changelog synchronization for C++ release workflows?▼

Automating semantic version tagging for C++ releases enforces branching strategies and atomic commits. It synchronizes changelog updates and automates release pipelines directly from Git tags to verify generated artifacts.

Can I use this workflow to enforce Git branching strategies and PR policies for C++ projects?▼

Yes, this workflow enforces Git branching strategies and PR policies for C++ projects. It requires CI checks to pass before merging, ensuring atomic commits and predictable project delivery through structured branch management.

Does the C++ build workflow support multi-platform CI pipelines and dependency caching?▼

The C++ build workflow supports multi-platform CI pipelines by creating build matrices across operating systems. It separates job types and caches dependencies using least-privilege tokens to optimize pipeline execution and security.

How do I configure canonical CMake build targets for debug, release, and testing environments?▼

Configuring canonical CMake build targets defines reproducible environments for debug, release, and testing. It establishes standard build configurations within the local developer workflow to ensure consistent project compilation and execution.
