CI/CD Fundamentals
Continuous Integration
Continuous integration is the practice of frequently merging code changes into a shared repository and checking them with automated builds and tests. It helps teams detect integration problems while changes are still small.
Also known as: CI
Why it matters
Frequent automated checks make integration defects easier to isolate and resolve.
Practical example
Run unit tests on every pull request so contributors receive feedback before merging.
