Hands-On Continuous Integration and Delivery

Private build

Developers should run private builds prior to committing code to the repository.

Here is a sample developer session using Git:

1. Check out the code you will alter from the repository:
   1. Go into the version controlled folder.
   2. git checkout -b new_branch.
2. Make changes to the code:
   1. Edit myFile.go.
3. Get the latest system changes from the repository:
   1. git pull.
4. Run a build that executes of all your unit tests and possibly integration tests in your local machine.
5. Commit your code changes to the repository.
6. The CI build should automatically trigger a build and run any tests in the repository.
7. The CI build should also do other tasks, such as reporting and calling other services if need be.
