Exercise – implementing CI 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 a Cloud Source Repository.
2. Developing the code and Cloud Build scripts.
3. Creating a Cloud Build trigger.
4. Pushing the code to the GitHub repository.

Let’s get started!
