# Pipelines

# CI/CD overview

|

Pipelines are found under [`.github/workflows`](./../.github/workflows).

## GitOps
|
||||
|
||||
CI/CD is fully automated using different Git events and GitHub actions. This repository uses [bump-everywhere](https://github.com/undergroundwires/bump-everywhere) to automate versioning, tagging, creation of `CHANGELOG.md` and GitHub releases. A dedicated workflow [release.desktop.yaml](./../.github/workflows/release.desktop.yaml) creates desktop installers and executables and attaches them into GitHub releases.
|
||||
|
||||
Everything that's merged in the master goes directly to production.

## Pipeline files
|
||||
|
||||
privacy.sexy uses [GitHub actions](https://github.com/features/actions) to define and run pipelines as code.
|
||||
|
||||
GitHub workflows i.e. pipelines exist in [`/.github/.workflows/`](./../.github/workflows/) folder without any subfolders due to GitHub actions requirements [1] .

## Pipeline types
|
||||
|
||||
They are categorized based on their type:
|
||||
We categorize pipelines into different categories. We use these names in convention when naming files and actions, see [naming conventions](#naming-conventions).
|
||||
|
||||
The categories consist of:
|
||||
|
||||
- `tests`: Different types of tests to verify functionality.
|
||||
- `checks`: Other controls such as vulnerability scans or styling checks.

## Naming conventions
|

|
||||
Pipeline files are named using: **`<type>.<name>.yaml`**.
|
||||
Convention for naming pipeline files: **`<type>.<name>.yaml`**.
|
||||
|
||||
**`type`**: Sub-folders do not work for GitHub workflows so that's why `<type>.` prefix is used. See also [pipeline types](#pipeline-types).
|
||||
**`type`**:
|
||||
|
||||
**`name`**: Pipeline themselves are named using kebab case. It allows for easier URL references for their status badges. E.g. file name `tests.unit.yaml`, pipeline name: `name: unit-tests`
|
||||
- Sub-folders do not work for GitHub workflows [1] so we use `<type>.` prefix to organize them.
|
||||
- See also [pipeline types](#pipeline-types) for list of all usable types.
|

|
||||
**`name`**:
|
||||
|
||||
- We name workflows using kebab-case.
|
||||
- E.g. file name `tests.unit.yaml`, pipeline file should set the naem as: `name: unit-tests`.
|
||||
- Kebab-case allows to have better URL references to them.
|
||||
- [README.md](./../README.md) uses URL references to show status badges for actions.
