Feature Description

We need to automate our build process to ensure that our code is consistently built and tested. This will involve creating a GitHub Actions workflow that runs gradle build on every push and pull request.

Tasks:

Create a new GitHub Actions workflow file (.github/workflows/gradle-build.yml).
Configure the workflow to trigger on push and pull request events.
Add a step to check out the code.
Add a step to set up JDK.
Add a step to run gradle build.
Test the workflow to ensure it runs correctly on push and pull request events.

Use Case

Consistency: Automating the build process ensures that the codebase is consistently built and tested with every change, reducing the likelihood of build-related issues.
Early Detection: By running gradle build on every push and pull request, potential issues are caught early in the development cycle, leading to faster fixes and higher code quality.
Efficiency: Developers save time and effort by not having to manually run builds and tests, allowing them to focus on writing code and implementing features.
Continuous Integration: Integrating this workflow supports a continuous integration practice, ensuring that the codebase is always in a deployable state.
Transparency: The workflow provides visibility into the build status for all team members, making it easier to track the health of the project.

Benefits

Improved Code Quality: Automated builds and tests ensure immediate validation of code changes, leading to higher overall code quality.
Reduced Manual Effort: Developers are relieved from manually running builds and tests, allowing them to focus on more valuable work.
Faster Feedback Loop: Immediate feedback on code changes helps developers quickly identify and fix issues, accelerating the development process.
Consistency and Reliability: A consistent and repeatable build process reduces the risk of environment-related issues and build discrepancies.
Enhanced Collaboration: Clear and visible build status for each push and pull request enhances team collaboration and helps maintain a healthy codebase.
