Manage your project documentation as Code

July 8, 2023 - 15 minutes read time

As an architect, the main product I deliver is a document named “Technical Architecture Document”. This document is basically a high level specification (not because it’s rocket science, it’s just a detailed global perspective) explaining how a software project will be implemented with the rest of the information system. And in most of the case, the template for this document is an Office suite-related document type such as a Microsoft Office document, or anything else.

This may sound a little incongruous if for you the Continous Integration / Continuous Delivery patterns are for software development, but yes, you can maintain a book with the same principles.

Recently, I’ve compiled the Linux Explained articles into an e-book. The idea was germinating in my head while writing the articles and I was wondering if I could maintaining the text using the CI/CD patterns.

During the previous week-end, I had a simple idea about if a blogroll directory could be made with a static-site generator like Hugo (the one I use here).

After some tinkering, it appeared that it worked pretty nice, so I’ve launched it on the web and let see what will happen.

act for testing Github Action locally

April 16, 2022 - 7 minutes read time

Following my previous article about GitHub Actions, here is a new one that will explain how to locally test your Actions. Unlike the good old Jenkins on which you can copy/paste your pipeline code in a test job and run it (that’s dirty but it works), GitHub Actions requires to always commit and push your changes and wait for the runner to take it. When you’re like me and using a die and retry development process, it’s a waste of time.

GitHub Actions is a Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment workflow manager made by the code repository hosting service GitHub.

This third entry in our misbrands series will be about GitHub and GitLab, two famous code hosting (and other) services based on the Git SCM.
