Feature request: Add CI/CD workflow using GitHub Actions
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is currently no CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline set up for Linpad, which slows down the development process. Automated testing, building, and deployment are essential to ensure consistent quality and faster iterations.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to implement a CI/CD workflow using GitHub Actions. The workflow should include the following steps:
Continuous Integration (CI):
Automatically run tests on each commit or pull request to ensure that new changes don't break existing functionality.
Linting and code style checks for Python code to maintain consistency.
Security analysis to identify potential vulnerabilities in the codebase.
Continuous Deployment (CD):
Automatically package the Linpad application into a .deb file after a successful build.
Optionally, create a Snap package and deploy it to the Snap Store.
Automatically publish new releases to GitHub whenever a version bump is detected (based on Git tags).
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be to manually test, build, and deploy the application, but this is time-consuming and prone to human error. A CI/CD pipeline would streamline these processes, allowing for quicker updates.
Additional context
Adding a CI/CD workflow will improve the development process, allowing for quicker feedback on changes, reducing manual tasks, and ensuring higher quality in every release.
