Create a project that integrates with DevOps Deploy
In this tutorial, you create a project that builds distributable artifacts and loads them into HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) components. The source code is downloaded from GitHub and built with Ant.
Lesson 1: Creating a Git repository
Repository integrations enable Build to check out code, access change logs, and do other project-related activities.

DevOps Loop: Build
Build offers a robust, template-driven system for managing continuous integration and build processes.
Overview
Tutorials
- Create a Maven build project
  In this tutorial, you create a project that builds the open source product JUnit. The source code is downloaded from GitHub (an open source code repository) and built with Maven.
- Create a project that integrates with DevOps Deploy
  In this tutorial, you create a project that builds distributable artifacts and loads them into HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) components. The source code is downloaded from GitHub and built with Ant.
  - Introduction
    In this tutorial, you create a project that builds distributable artifacts and loads them into HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy) components. The source code is downloaded from GitHub and built with Ant.
  - Configure the tutorial system
    Before you can run the tutorial project, you must configure your Build and DevOps Deploy environments.
  - Lesson 1: Creating a Git repository
    Repository integrations enable Build to check out code, access change logs, and do other project-related activities.
  - Lesson 2: Creating a job and adding steps
    A job is a series of steps that, together, complete an activity, such as building a project. When a project runs, the steps run one at a time in the order that you specify.
  - Lesson 3: Creating a source template
    A source template is a reusable source code configuration that defines a source-code build type. Source templates can be used by any project that requires the same source type.
  - Lesson 4: Creating a process template
    Build process templates associate processes with project templates.
  - Lesson 5: Creating a project template
    Projects bring together build processes, source configurations, dependencies, and artifacts. A project template is a reusable blueprint that defines a generic project.
  - Lesson 6: Creating a project
    You use projects to configure and run builds. After a build runs, projects provide a wealth of information that you can use to manage the project lifecycle and troubleshoot problems.
  - Lesson 7: Running the build
    Run the project build process to transform the source code into a distributable component and load it into HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy).
  - Lesson 8: Verifying the build results
    Check the component version that was created by the tutorial project in HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy).
  - Summary
    In this tutorial, you learned how to build a project and run a build with Build.
Administering
Users with the correct permissions can configure security, create users, configure integrations, and create notifications and announcements among other things.
Creating and Managing Projects
Projects run builds, manage dependencies with third-party tools, and can be used for administrative, operational, and system maintenance.
Creating Jobs and Processes
Jobs are the core building blocks of Build. Process definitions assemble jobs into the basic unit of automation. A process definition determines how, when, and where jobs run.
Managing Project Templates
Project templates are reusable plans that map build processes.
Monitoring and Reporting
With the monitoring tools you can review current and historical activity and save your filter conditions for future use. You can create charts and reports from most database tables.
Extending Product Functions
You can create your own plug-ins to extend the product’s capabilities.

Lesson 1: Creating a Git repository

Repository integrations enable Build to check out code, access change logs, and do other project-related activities.

Before you begin

Before you begin this lesson, make sure that you complete the steps that are described in Configure the tutorial system.

Procedure

On the left navigational panel, click System > Repositories.
On the Repositories page, click Create Repository.
In the Source Plug-in list, select Git and then click Set.
In the Name field, type GitHub.
In the Repository Base URL field, type https://github.com/IBM-UrbanCode/ant.
Click Save.

Lesson checkpoint

In this lesson, you created a repository that is based on the Git plug-in.

About this task

The GitHub repository is listed on the Repositories page.
