How do I get started with CircleCI?

If you're looking to get started with CircleCI, here's a quick guide to help you set up your first project and automate your development workflow.

1. Sign Up for CircleCI

Visit the CircleCI website and sign up using your GitHub or Bitbucket account. This will allow CircleCI to access your repositories.

2. Create a Configuration File

In your project repository, create a file named .circleci/config.yml. This file defines your CI/CD pipeline. Below is a simple example of a configuration file:

version: 2.1 jobs: build: docker: - image: circleci/php:7.4 steps: - checkout - run: name: Install dependencies command: composer install - run: name: Run tests command: ./vendor/bin/phpunit workflows: version: 2 build_and_test: jobs: - build

3. Push Your Changes

Commit your changes and push your code to your repository. CircleCI will automatically detect the configuration file and start the build process.

4. Monitor Your Builds

Log into your CircleCI dashboard to monitor the build progress. You can view logs and troubleshooting tips if any build fails.

5. Integrate with Other Tools

CircleCI can integrate with various tools and services. For example, you can set up notifications for build status using Slack or email.
