If you haven’t been part of the Git revolution yet, this is where to begin. — History of Git GIT, which stands for Global Information Tracker, is a powerful and widely used version control system in software development. The word is misleading when it says, global information tracker. However, the name derives from the system’s ability to track changes to digital files globally across the network, not just in…

StepSecurity’s pull request feature has helped over 400 public repositories orchestrate application security tools and harden CI/CD pipelines. — I posted in April about how StepSecurity’s pull request feature had helped over 300 public repositories adopt secure development practices. In a couple of months since then, the number has crossed 400! 🎉 40 of these over 400 public repositories have over 1000 stars ⭐, showing the trust that important…

Conclusion To take full advantage of the new caching capabilities of actions/setup-go@v4, it is essential to adhere to the execution order of actions/checkout (e.g. actions/checkout@v3) actions/setup-go@v4 - name: Checkout code uses: actions/checkout@v3 - name: Set up Go uses: actions/setup-go@v4 with: go-version: "1.20" This will make the Go build process more efficient…

You are a developer, MLOps engineer, data scientist, and turning coffee into code. None of you would enjoy copy-pasting the same code many times to execute the same tasks. Just like how we want automation in (Dev & ML)Ops world, we also like reusability. …

Caching allows for faster builds by reusing downloaded packages. With a little bit of trickery, we can cache our dependencies in GitHub Actions — Introduction You’re building your React Native app on a CI/CD provider for the first time. One of the first things you notice is that it takes a while. It takes longer than on your local machine, especially if you use GitHub-hosted runners. Part of the reason the build is quicker on…

All of us have been there, we edit some code create the PR to develop and when it’s merged, the build breaks. Even the best developers can encounter this issue. Our team ran into this quite a bit when we were on a project. We have awesome developers and cloud…

In the fast-paced world of software development, testing is crucial for maintaining high-quality code, especially when working with complex machine learning algorithms. One of the challenges we often face during the testing process is running tests using big datasets, which can slow down testing and make it difficult to test…

Introduction In the rapidly evolving landscape of software development and deployment, organisations are constantly seeking more efficient ways to manage their application lifecycle. Traditional methods of manual deployments and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines have proven to be time-consuming and error-prone. Enter GitOps, a modern approach to software delivery…

Consolidated view of past CI/CD runtime detections across GitHub Actions workflows in your organization — Introduction Harden Runner is a security agent for GitHub-hosted and Actions Runner Controller (ARC) based self-hosted GitHub Actions runners designed to block egress traffic and detect code overwrite, thereby preventing potential breaches, like the SolarWinds or the Codecov incidents. Previously, Harden Runner users were notified of threat detections through Slack or…
