Set up your development environment in GitHub
Nov. 29
Learn how to set up an organization in GitHub and SonarCloud so that you and your development team can collaboratively develop DataMiner artifacts while maintaining high-quality standards. This tutorial sets up the framework to achieve the same quality standards that developers at Skyline Communications adhere to. It will also add Starter Workflows provided by Skyline to improve efficiency. Additionally, you'll learn how to set up SonarCloud, a mandatory static analysis tool used in all Skyline-provided GitHub workflows.
From code to product in GitHub
Dec. 06
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to develop, (pre-)release, and optionally deploy any supported DataMiner artifact with a CI/CD pipeline specifically in GitHub. These processes follow the same quality standards that developers within Skyline Communications adhere to.
This CI/CD pipeline will ensure strict quality standards, provide you with an item registered in your private catalog, and give you the ability to deploy automatically.
