To enhance our project's efficiency and maintainability, we aim to upgrade our Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline. This enhancement will encompass standard CI tasks such as building, linting, and testing, and extend to automatically releasing the project when necessary. These steps are critical for ensuring the quality of our code and facilitating smoother project management.

Key Enhancements for the CI Pipeline

• License Update

  • Ensure our project's license is current, reflecting the latest year and usage terms. This can be done with GH action: FantasticFiasco/action-update-license-year@v3

• Test, Build, and Lint Workflow

  • Integrate a robust sequence in our CI pipeline that includes:
    • Automated testing of new commits to maintain code integrity.
    • Building the project to ensure no integration issues.
    • Linting to uphold code quality and style guidelines.

• Automated Release Process

  • Implement an auto-release system, like "Release Please", to handle:
    • Automatic generation of release notes.
    • Version management based on commit messages.
    • Publishing new versions to the repository, minimizing manual efforts.

By implementing these enhancements, we aim to significantly improve our CI pipeline's effectiveness, ensuring that our project remains cutting-edge, efficient, and easy to maintain.
