What is CircleCI

In software engineering, continuous integration is the practice of merging all developer’s working copies to a shared mainline on a continuous basis. CircleCI is a popular continuous integration software offering and Commandeer provides a GUI that makes managing your CirceCI development easy and intuitive.

Overview

CircleCI is a hosted Continuous Integration service. You sign up for a CircleCI account, write your CI configuration in YAML, and CircleCI runs it on their infrastructure. There is also an option to run CircleCI jobs on-premise. Your CircleCI configuration has some jobs, which can be combined into workflows, and customized using the environment variables and contexts.

There are many CI services out there. CircleCI is one of our favorites because of the following features:

• Ease of getting up and running.
• A number of pre-made Docker images making writing your configuration easier.
• A large number of customization options including orbs and workflows.
