Quick Start

Start by installing Cirrus CI application from GitHub Marketplace.

Once Cirrus CI is installed for a particular repository .cirrus.yml configuration file should be added to the root of the repository. .cirrus.yml defines tasks that will be executed for every build for the repository.

For a simple Java project .cirrus.yml can look like:

container:
  image: gradle:4.3.0-jdk8
  cpu: 4
  memory: 10G
task:
  script: gradle check

That's all! After pushing .cirrus.yml a build with all the tasks defined in .cirrus.yml file will be created. GitHub status checks for each task will appear momentarily.
