Using Radicle CI

9 months ago

Radicle CI is used for software development, integrating with Git repositories hosted on Radicle.
The Radicle CI broker listens for repository change events and invokes an adapter to run CI, supporting various CI systems.
A sample Rust project demonstrates setting up CI with Radicle, including local CI runs and server-based CI configurations.
Local CI runs can be executed using the `rad-ci` extension, allowing developers to emulate server CI environments locally.
CI configuration is repository-specific, with `.radicle/ambient.yaml` used for Ambient CI.
Issues and changes are managed through Radicle's desktop application and command-line tools, with patches triggering CI runs.
The process includes creating patches, running CI, fixing issues, and merging changes, all integrated with Radicle's workflow.
Installation instructions are provided for Radicle, Radicle CI, and related tools, with a focus on Debian systems.
The author reflects on the evolution of CI systems, aiming for a less irritating and more efficient development experience.
