What is continuous integration and how can I implement it in my Python app?

Continuous integration (CI) is a development practice where code changes are automatically tested and merged into a shared repository. To implement CI in your Python app, you can use tools like Jenkins, Travis CI, or GitHub Actions.

What tools do you recommend for setting up CI?

I recommend using GitHub Actions for its seamless integration with GitHub repositories, or Travis CI for its simplicity and ease of use.

Can you explain how to set up GitHub Actions for my Python project?

Sure! First, create a .github/workflows directory in your repository. Then, add a YAML file to define your CI workflow, specifying the Python version, dependencies, and the commands to run your tests.

What should I include in my workflow file?

Your workflow file should include the name of the workflow, the trigger events (like push or pull request), the jobs to run, and the steps for setting up Python, installing dependencies, and running tests.
