Building CI/CD Pipelines

Overview

Generate CI/CD pipeline configurations for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, and Azure DevOps. Produce multi-stage workflows covering linting, testing, building container images, security scanning, and deploying to staging/production with proper gating and rollback mechanisms.

Prerequisites

• Git repository hosted on a supported platform (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps)
• Container runtime (Docker) if building images
• Target deployment environment credentials configured as pipeline secrets
• Test suite that can run headlessly (npm test, pytest, go test, etc.)
• Understanding of branching strategy (trunk-based, GitFlow, or environment branches)

Instructions

1. Scan the project for existing CI/CD configuration files (.github/workflows/, .gitlab-ci.yml, Jenkinsfile, .circleci/config.yml)
2. Identify the application stack: language, framework, test runner, package manager, and deployment target
3. Define pipeline stages: lint -> test -> build -> security-scan -> deploy-staging -> integration-test -> deploy-production
4. Generate the pipeline configuration file with appropriate triggers (push to main, PR events, tags)
