PoC GitHub Actions CI Pipeline for .NET Framework

---

Overview

This repository demonstrates a proof of concept (PoC) for implementing a CI/CD pipeline for a .NET Framework 4.8 project using GitHub Actions.

🔗 For a detailed walkthrough, check out the accompanying blog article:

Features

Pipeline Highlights

• Environment Setup:

  • Configure tools (MSBuild, VSTest, NuGet, Java for SonarCloud).
  • Cache dependencies for faster execution.

• Build and Test:

  • Restore dependencies and build the project.
  • Run unit tests using VSTest.

• Code Quality and Security:

  • Generate metrics using SonarCloud, Codacy, Code Climate, Snyk, and more.

• Deployment:

  • Request approval for deployment.
  • Upload artifacts via FTP.
  • Execute deployment commands via SSH.
