How can I set up continuous integration for my ASP.NET Core application?

To set up continuous integration for your ASP.NET Core application, you can use tools like GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins. Do you have a specific tool in mind?

I was thinking of using GitHub Actions. How do I get started?

Great choice! First, create a .github/workflows directory in your repository. Then, add a YAML file to define your CI workflow. Would you like a sample YAML configuration?

Yes, please provide a sample YAML configuration.

Here's a simple example:

name: CI
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Setup .NET
        uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
        with:
          dotnet-version: '6.0.x'
      - name: Restore dependencies
        run: dotnet restore
      - name: Build
        run: dotnet build --configuration Release

This will build your application on every push to the main branch.
