Project in CircleCI

 This guide gets you started with creating a new project in CircleCI.

Prerequisites

  • A CircleCI account connected to your code. You can sign up for free.

  • A code repository you want to build on CircleCI.

Build a new project on CircleCI

The authorization method used to set up your CircleCI account determines the definition of "project" in CircleCI, as well as the permissions management processes available to you:

  • If you authenticated using GitHub OAuth app, or Bitbucket, a "project" in CircleCI maps directly to a "repository" in GitHub. Follow steps to Set up a project below.

  • If you authenticated through GitLab or the CircleCI GitHub App, a "project" within CircleCI is a standalone entity that you create and then associate with a code repository. Follow steps to Create a project below.

Set up a project

Follow these steps to set up a new project in CircleCI:

  1. In the CircleCI web app, click Projects in the sidebar.

  2. Find your project in the list and click the blue Set Up Project button next to it.

    Set up Project

    If you cannot see your project, check you have selected the correct organization in the top left-hand corner of CircleCI.

    Select Organization

    Once you have set up your project, you will be prompted to provide a config.yml file.

  3. From the pop-up window, select your preferred option. You can either:

    • Include a config.yml in the .circleci directory of your repository.

    • Commit a starter CI pipeline to a new branch of your repository.

    • Use an editable config.yml template.

      If you choose the starter CI pipeline, a sample config.yml file is created and committed to a circleci-project-setup branch in your repository.

      For guidance on creating a config.yml file, see Configuration Introduction.

  4. Click the blue Set Up Project button.

CircleCI uses the specified .circleci/config.yml file to run your pipeline. You can see the output in the CircleCI dashboard.

To make changes to your pipeline, either edit the .circleci/config.yml file in your repository, or click the ellipsis next your project in the Dashboard and choose Configuration File. This opens the CircleCI configuration editor, from where you can edit and commit your config.yml file.

Edit Configuration File

Create a project

If you authorized CircleCI with either GitLab, or the GitHub App, follow the steps in the section below that applies to you.

GitHub App project

Follow these steps to create a new project in CircleCI:

  1. In the CircleCI web app, click Projects in the sidebar.

  2. Click Create Project at the top of the page.

    Create a project

  3. In the Connect Code window, click the GitHub tile.

  4. In the Create New Project window, use the options to:

    • Input your project name in the Project Name field.

    • Tell CircleCI where your code is stored.

    • Click Create Project at the bottom of the window. CircleCI will now automatically generate a custom configuration file based on the programming languages and frameworks detected in your selected repository.

    • When the custom configuration file has been generated, click Commit and Run to commit your custom configuration file on a new branch called circleci-project-setup. Alternatively, click Review configuration file to view the custom configuration file in the configuration editor.

    • If CircleCI is unable to generate a custom configuration file, CircleCI will generate a fallback template that you can utilize to create your config.yml file.

GitLab project

Follow these steps to create a new project in CircleCI:

  1. In the CircleCI web app, click Projects in the sidebar.

  2. Click Create Project at the top of the page.

    Create a project

  3. In the Connect Code window, click the GitLab tile.

  4. In the Create New Project window, use the options to:

    • Tell CircleCI where your code is stored

    • Choose an option for managing your .circleci/config.yml file. You can either choose to let CircleCI pick a configuration file for you, and commit this to a new branch in you repository, or you can edit a starter config file in the CircleCI web app and commit that to your repository yourself.

    • For guidance on creating a config.yml file, see the following pages:

  5. The Project Name field is automatically populated with the name of your repository, but you can change this if required.

  6. Click Create Project at the bottom of the window.

CircleCI uses the specified .circleci/config.yml file to run your pipeline. You can see the output in the CircleCI dashboard.

To make changes to your pipeline, edit the .circleci/config.yml file in your repository.

  Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you build, change, and version cloud and on-prem resources safely and efficiently. HashiCorp Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you define both cloud and on-prem resources in human-readable configuration files that you can version, reuse, and share. You can then use a consistent workflow to provision and manage all of your infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Terraform can manage low-level components like compute, storage, and networking resources, as well as high-level components like DNS entries and SaaS features. How does Terraform work? Terraform creates and manages resources on cloud platforms and other services through their application programming interfaces (APIs). Providers enable Terraform to work with virtually any platform or service with an accessible API. HashiCorp and the Terraform community have already written  thousands of providers  to manage many different types of resources and services.

Understanding the MoSCoW prioritization | How to implement it into your project Projects, irrespective of their size or complexity, often juggle numerous tasks and requirements. In such a scenario,  MoSCoW prioritization  becomes essential to ensure the successful completion of the project.  Besides, it is also a very effective way to manage project priorities. With a straightforward and adaptable approach, the MoSCoW method helps manage stakeholder expectations and improve project outcomes. What is the MoSCoW prioritization technique?  The MoSCoW method is a prioritization matrix widely used in project management and software development. The term MoSCoW is an acronym that stands for  Must have ,  Should have ,  Could have , and  Won’t have , each denoting a level of priority. Here is the breakdown of the MoSCoW method:  Must have:  These are critical requirements that the project cannot be completed without them. If these are not fulfilled, the project is con

Kubernetes

  Using containers to host applications and other processes has gone mainstream. As more and more workload is moved into containers, management systems are needed to handle the demands of containerized applications at scale. One of the most popular options for managing  container-based workload is Kubernetes . Kubernetes combines container management automation with an extensible API to create a cloud-native application management powerhouse. At its core, Kubernetes manages the placement of pods, which can consist of one or more containers, on a Kubernetes cluster node. Additionally, if one of these pods crashes, Kubernetes can create a new instance of it. If a cluster node is removed, Kubernetes can move any affected workload to a different node in the cluster. On top of that, Kubernetes pods can be scaled to provide more or less throughput to meet scale demands and these scale operations can be triggered manually or automatically using Kuberentes horizontal pod auto-scaling. Finally,
