Why should you actually read this text?

Firstly: it takes five minutes, the guide is free and chances are we can contribute to your current CI/CD workflow — we like to share the experience.

Secondly: if you don’t get familiar with CI/CD, we strongly encourage you to have a closer look at the concept. You know for sure the agile approach, which aim is to shorten the development cycle time to the minimum. The reason for that is obvious: the faster the software moves to the next stage of the development process, the faster you get the feedback and will be able to develop and deliver the improved and enhanced version.

Sounds cool, but if you want to give CI/CD a try, you’ll have to automate your work and this is what this guide is about — it shows how to drop the boring, time-consuming, error-generating manual tasks everyone hates and allow Buddy to complete them for you.
