ci/cd to foton? #14

Open ghost opened 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

Hello everyone!

I recently found an online platform that deploys ci/cd. Do you all think it would be interesting to have ci/cd in the foton?

For example, there is a site called: AppVeyor that can compile c# projects in the cloud, I think this is important because it can help to deploy easily.

So, I initially plan on using AppVeyor free plan to deploy the foton library. What do you all think of this idea? does it make sense or not?

Note:

I recently created a pull request for this. You can see it here: add community standards, donate and deploy with ci/cd
Ci/cd in AppVeyor, it's free and in the cloud. And it is possible to have ci/cd on any platform: windows, linux, mac-os.
AppVeyor is Continuous Integration(CI) and Deployment (CD) service.
CI/CD is the abbreviation of Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery. It is a software development practice that aims to make code integration more efficient through automated builds and tests.

hey everone!

I forgot to write why ci/cd is important for open project: foton. I will answer this question below.

Why use ci/cd?

In general, with ci/cd we can do controlled tests for these common tasks:

Try to run the project in Windows and Linux and verify that it still works.
Update the version of C# and .NET to the latest version.
Verify that the 3rd party libraries for support in Windows and Linux still are maintained, update versions if needed.
Create a Hello World application that uses this library and runs cross-platform.

So, so, in summary why we use ci/cd is:

We can update the library automatically whenever possible.
we can generally update dependencies with ci/cd.
we can create artifacts or files that do "hello world" to test that dependencies or libraries are working as they should.

Note: I don't know anything about ci/cd, but I've read a lot. And I hope to help in some way.

Hi @pablocar80, how are you?

can we close this issue, since everything has been resolved, accepted with pr: add 4 pull-requests: community standards, donate, deploy with ci/cd and website for docs, faq or tutorials ?

Hi @pablocar80.

is ci/cd working?

I said close, but it's best to leave it open. I will make new settings and I will test. after that I send a new pull-request.
