SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

DevOps-ready teams often add CI/CD files without understanding what actually runs, how gates block merges, how secrets stay safe, and how deploys move from green CI to a working environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Minimal CI first, then gates: Teach the smallest pipeline that catches real bugs, then expand into required checks and security gates.
  • Environment-aware delivery: Route preview, staging, and production with the right triggers and secrets per environment.
  • Docker and workflow deploy integration: Teach when Docker is useful, and how to connect CI success to CD deploy with handoff to post-ship verification.
  • Use case: When a user adds a workflow YAML, Dockerfile, or says “set up CI/CD,” follow the phases to create a pipeline that runs lint/test/build, blocks merges on failures, and deploys with approvals where needed.

Quick Start

Ask an agent: "Using my repo’s existing package.json scripts and any files in .github/workflows and Dockerfile, teach and add the smallest CI pipeline that runs lint, tests, and build on PRs, then extend it into merge-blocking gates and environment-aware deploys."

Frequently Asked Questions about devlearn-devops

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline that blocks merges on test failures?

CI/CD pipeline gates block merges by running automated lint, test, and build checks in GitHub Actions workflows on every pull request. Required status checks prevent merging until CI passes, ensuring broken code never reaches production branches.

What is the best way to configure environment-aware deployments for preview, staging, and production?

Environment-aware deployments route to preview, staging, and production using specific GitHub Actions triggers and isolated environment secrets. Configure each environment with its own deployment protection rules and required approvals to control the CD handoff safely.

How do I use Docker with GitHub Actions workflows for containerized delivery?

Docker integrates with GitHub Actions workflows by building container images during CI and deploying them for containerized delivery. Use a Dockerfile to package the application, then wire the deploy step to push the image and perform post-ship verification after the environment is live.

Do I need existing package.json scripts to create a minimal working CI pipeline?

Analyzing existing package.json scripts is required to create a minimal working CI pipeline that runs lint, tests, and build. The pipeline maps workflow YAML steps directly to your existing npm scripts to ensure automated checks accurately reflect your project's build process.

How do GitHub Actions environment secrets work for secure CD deployments?

GitHub Actions environment secrets secure CD deployments by storing sensitive credentials like API keys and tokens separately for each environment. Workflows reference these secrets during deploy steps, keeping credentials safe while routing to preview, staging, or production.

When should I add pipeline gates and security checks to my CI workflow?

Add pipeline gates and security checks to your CI workflow after establishing a minimal working pipeline that runs lint, test, and build on PRs. Expand into merge-blocking gates and security considerations once the smallest pipeline reliably catches real bugs.
