Welcome to the Drone codebase, we are thrilled to have you here!

Drone is a continuous delivery system built on container technology. Drone uses a simple YAML build file, to define and execute build pipelines inside Docker containers.

Drone follows the CNCF Code of Conduct.

This section of the documentation will help you install and configure the Drone Server and one or many Runners. A runner is a standalone daemon that polls the server for pending pipelines to execute.

Our documentation can help you get started with the different types of pipelines/builds. There are different runners / plugins / extensions designed for different use cases to help make an efficient and simple build pipeline

Plugins are used in build steps to perform actions, eg send a message to slack or push a container to a registry. We have an extensive list of community plugins to customize your build pipeline, you can find those here.

This build file contains a single pipeline (you can have multiple pipelines too) that builds a go application. The front end with npm. Publishes the docker container to a registry and announces the results to a slack room.

Run the changelog generator.

docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd)":/usr/local/src/your-app githubchangeloggenerator/github-changelog-generator -u drone -p drone -t <secret github token>

You can generate a token by logging into your GitHub account and going to Settings -> Personal access tokens.

Next we tag the PR's with the fixes or enhancements labels. If the PR does not fulfill the requirements, do not add a label.

Before moving on make sure to update the version file version/version.go && version/version_test.go.

Run the changelog generator again with the future version according to semver.

docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd)":/usr/local/src/your-app githubchangeloggenerator/github-changelog-generator -u harness -p drone -t <secret token> --future-release v1.0.0

Create your pull request for the release. Get it merged then tag the release.
