COMMIT AND PUSH: git add . git commit -m "Add CI/CD automation pipeline" git push origin master 2. MONITOR FIRST RUN: - Go to GitHub Actions tab - Watch workflow execute - Review any issues 3. CHECK LIGHTHOUSE REPORT: - Review performance metrics - Identify optimization opportunities - Plan improvements 4. ITERATE: - Fix any failing checks - Optimize performance - Monitor trends ================================================================================ FILES REFERENCE ================================================================================ CREATED FILES: .github/workflows/ci.yml - Main workflow definition - 4 jobs with dependencies - Tests, build, lighthouse, seo .markdownlint.json - Markdown formatting rules - Line length: 120 chars - Consistent heading/list styles lighthouserc.json - Lighthouse CI configuration - Performance targets - Audit URLs and assertions CI_CD_SETUP_GUIDE.md - Complete setup documentation - Customization instructions - Troubleshooting guide EXISTING FILES (Enhanced): tests/performance-tests.js - Already passing all 9 tests - Integrated into pipeline tests/validate-assets.sh - Already passing 9/10 tests - Integrated into pipeline ================================================================================ KEY FEATURES ================================================================================ ✅ Fully Automated Testing Runs on every commit without manual trigger ✅ Non-Blocking Audits Performance audits don't prevent deployment ✅ Artifact Storage Built site available for 5 days for testing ✅ Fast Execution ~10 minutes per pipeline run ✅ GitHub Native Uses GitHub Actions - no external services ✅ Detailed Logging Full transparency with logs for each step ✅ Efficient Caching Gems cached for faster builds ✅ Scalable Design Easy to add more checks later ================================================================================ SUPPORT RESOURCES ================================================================================ For Documentation: - CI_CD_SETUP_GUIDE.md (this directory) - .github/README.md (if created) - GitHub Actions documentation For Issues: 1.
