# 🚀 Some Reusable GitHub Actions CI/CD Pipelines
Welcome to my personal collection of reusable GitHub Actions workflows! This repository contains a comprehensive set of CI/CD pipelines that I've developed to automate the entire software development lifecycle of my own projects - from testing and linting to building, deploying, and maintaining applications in production.
## 🎯 What's Inside
This collection includes battle-tested workflows for:
- **🧪 Testing & Quality Assurance** - Automated testing and code quality checks
- **🔍 Linting & Security** - Code style enforcement and security auditing
- **🏗️ Container Building** - Docker image building and registry publishing
- **☸️ Kubernetes Deployments** - Automated deployments to Kubernetes clusters
- **📦 Release Management** - Automated versioning and release creation
- **⚙️ Infrastructure Maintenance** - Cluster maintenance and monitoring
All workflows are designed to be **reusable**, **configurable**, and **production-ready**.
## 🏗️ Architecture
### Reusable Workflows
Located in `.github/workflows/`, these workflows can be called from any repository:
- **`test-lint-rails.yaml`** - Comprehensive Rails testing with PostgreSQL, security audits, and code quality reports
- **`build-push.yaml`** - Multi-platform Docker image building and registry publishing
- **`deploy.yaml`** - Kubernetes deployments with Helm charts and environment management
- **`release-please.yaml`** - Automated version bumping and release creation
### Templates
The `templates/` directory contains ready-to-use examples showing how to consume these workflows in your own projects.
## 🚀 Quick Start
### 1. Using a Reusable Workflow
Copy any template from the `templates/` directory and customize it for your project:
```yaml
# Example: .github/workflows/ci.yaml
name: CI Pipeline
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
test:
uses: joel-grant/github-actions/.github/workflows/test-lint-rails.yaml@main
with:
repo_name: "my-awesome-app"
secrets:
dockerhub_username: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }}
dockerhub_token: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_TOKEN }}
```
### 2. Available Templates
- **`rails-test-lint-template.yaml`** - Complete Rails CI pipeline
- **`build-push-template.yaml`** - Docker build and publish
- **`deploy-template.yaml`** - Kubernetes deployment
- **`release-template.yaml`** - Automated releases
## 📋 Features
### 🔧 Rails Testing Pipeline
- **Multi-service testing** with PostgreSQL and external APIs
- **Security auditing** with Bundler Audit and Brakeman
- **Code quality** analysis with RubyCritic
- **Configurable linting** with RuboCop (optional)
- **GitHub Pages** integration for quality reports
### 🐳 Container Operations
- **Multi-platform builds** (AMD64, ARM64)
- **Semantic tagging** with commit hashes and latest
- **Registry flexibility** (DockerHub, private registries)
- **Build optimization** with Docker Buildx
### ☸️ Kubernetes Deployments
- **Environment-specific** deployments (prod, staging, dev)
- **Helm chart** integration with value customization
- **Secret management** for sensitive configuration
- **Rolling deployments** with health checks
### 📈 Release Management
- **Conventional commits** for automated versioning
- **Changelog generation** from commit messages
- **Multi-package** support with release-please
- **GitHub Releases** with automated assets
## 🛠️ Configuration
Each workflow accepts inputs and secrets for maximum flexibility. Check the templates for complete configuration examples, including:
- Database connections and service dependencies
- Container registry credentials
- Kubernetes cluster access
- Environment-specific variables
- Security and monitoring integrations
## 🤝 Contributing & Usage
**This is a demo/personal project**, but you're absolutely welcome to:
- ✨ **Use these workflows** in your own projects
- 🎨 **Draw inspiration** for your CI/CD pipelines
- 🔧 **Adapt and modify** them for your specific needs
- 💡 **Share feedback** or suggestions for improvements
- 🐛 **Report issues** if you find any problems
No attribution required, but always appreciated!
## 📚 Documentation
Detailed documentation for each workflow can be found in the template files, including:
- Required secrets and environment variables
- Configuration options and examples
- Prerequisites and setup instructions
- Common usage patterns and best practices
## 🏷️ Workflow Status
All workflows are actively maintained and tested in production environments. They follow GitHub Actions best practices and are designed for reliability and scalability.
