DevOps — Continuous Integration (CI)

Continuous Integration (CI) is a DevOps practice where developers frequently merge their code changes into a shared repository. Each change triggers an automated build and test process to detect issues early. CI ensures that software remains stable and prevents last-minute integration problems. Tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI are commonly used to set up CI pipelines.

Example: When a developer pushes code, Jenkins automatically runs tests and alerts the team if any fail.
