How to set up a complete CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions — from MUnit testing to deploying your Mule app to CloudHub

Lately, I’ve been writing a series of articles (and recording a series of videos) with steps to create a complete CI/CD pipeline for your Mule applications in GitHub.

Note: The initial versions of the pipeline are based on the following repository created by Archana Patel: arch-jn/github-actions-mule-cicd-demo.

Here you can find the compilation of the 5 articles and videos to set up your own pipeline. In this series, you will learn the following:

1. Create a simple pipeline to deploy a Mule app to CloudHub using your Anypoint Platform’s username and password.
2. Add the required configuration to make use of secured/encrypted properties.
3. Include MUnit tests in the pipeline using Nexus credentials.
4. Include MUnit’s minimum coverage percentage in the pipeline.
5. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in your Anypoint Platform account using a Connected App.

Now let’s list the 5 articles/videos that you can follow to set all this up!
