Exercise – implementing continuous integration using Cloud Build

In this exercise, we will create a CI pipeline using Cloud Build. There will be four main steps, as follows:

1. Creating a GitHub repository using Cloud Source Repository
2. Developing the code and Cloud Build scripts
3. Creating the Cloud Build trigger
4. Pushing the code to the GitHub repository

Let's get started!
