🚀 CI/CD Practice Code

This repository contains my personal practice work for learning CI/CD pipelines, including GitHub Actions, Tekton, unit test automation, Docker image builds, and Kubernetes deployments.
These labs reflect my hands-on learning journey as I build real-world CI/CD skills required for DevOps engineering.
