How To Set Up Continuous Integration to Make Your Code More Robust, More Maintainable, and Easier to Publish
Following on from Graham Lee's talk on automated testing, we will use GitHub actions to automate the testing of a small Python project. We will: recap why this might be a good idea; walk through setting up a workflow on GitHub; test our code against multiple Python versions on multiple operating systems; and integrate other services such as code coverage and automated documentation generation.
