Overview of this book

This practical guide to DevOps uses GitHub as the DevOps platform and shows how you can leverage the power of GitHub for collaboration, lean management, and secure and fast software delivery. The chapters provide simple solutions to common problems, thereby helping teams that are already on their DevOps journey to further advance into DevOps and speed up their software delivery performance. From finding the right metrics to measure your success to learning from other teams’ success stories without merely copying what they’ve done, this book has it all in one place. As you advance, you’ll find out how you can leverage the power of GitHub to accelerate your value delivery – by making work visible with GitHub Projects, measuring the right metrics with GitHub Insights, using solid and proven engineering practices with GitHub Actions and Advanced Security, and moving to event-based and loosely coupled software architecture. By the end of this GitHub book, you'll have understood what factors influence software delivery performance and how you can measure your capabilities, thus realizing where you stand in your journey and how you can move forward.

Trunk-based development

Trunk-based development is a source-control branching model, where developers merge small and frequent updates to a single branch (often called a trunk, but in git, this is commonly referred to as the main branch) and resist any pressure to create other long-lived development branches (see https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com).

The base idea is that the main branch is always in a clean state so that any developer, at any time, can create a new branch based upon the main branch that builds successfully.

To keep the branch in a clean state, developers must take multiple measures to ensure only code that does not break anything is merged back to the main branch, as outlined here:

  • Fetch the newest changes from the main branch
  • Perform a clean test
  • Run all tests
  • Have high cohesion with your team (pair programming or code review)

As you can see, this is predestined for a protected main branch and pull requests (PRs) with a CI build that...
