Setup Continuous Integration

Setting up Continuous Integration (CI) for your track is very important, as it helps to automatically catch mistakes.

Our tracks all use GitHub Actions to run their CI. GitHub actions uses the concept of workflows, which are scripts that are run automatically whenever a specific event occurs (e.g. pushing a commit).

Each workflow corresponds to a file in .github/workflows. Each new track repository comes pre-loaded with three workflows:

• test.yml: this workflow should run the tests for each exercise the track has implemented
• configlet.yml: this workflow runs the configlet tool, which checks if a track's (configuration) files are properly structured - both syntactically and semantically.
• sync-labels.yml: this workflow automatically syncs the repository's labels from a labels.yml file

Of these three workflows, only the first workflow will need some manual work. To find out what needs to happen, please check the test.yml file's contents, which has TODO comments to help you.
