+## Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
+This project utilizes Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) to streamline the development and release process.
+Let's understand,
+### What is CI?
+Continuous Integration (CI) is the practice of automatically integrating code changes from multiple contributors into a shared repository. It involves running automated builds and tests whenever code changes are pushed.
+### What is CD?
+Continuous Deployment (CD) is the process of automatically deploying the application to a testing or production environment after successful CI.
+
+### Implementation
+This project is set up with GitHub Actions for CI/CD. Here's how it works:
+- **Build and Test:** On every push to the `main` branch, GitHub Actions automatically triggers a build and test workflow. This ensures that the codebase is always in a working state.
+
+- **Artifact Upload:** After a successful build, the resulting artifacts (e.g., compiled app) are uploaded as GitHub Actions artifacts. These artifacts can be downloaded for further testing or deployment.
+
+- **Testing Deployment:** Optionally, the workflow can include deployment steps for testing purposes. For example, deploying the app to TestFlight for beta testing.
+
+- **Release Deployment:** In a production setup, you might extend the workflow to deploy the app to the App Store or other distribution platforms.
+### How to Access Build Artifacts
+
+1. Navigate to the [Actions](https://github.com/shyakdas/iOS---Blog-App/actions) tab in this repository.
+
+2. Click on the latest workflow run.
+
+3. In the workflow run details, locate the "Artifacts" section.
+
+4. Download the desired build artifact for testing or distribution.
+
+## Uploading to TestFlight
+
+To upload the iOS app to TestFlight for beta testing, follow these steps:
+
+1. **Build the App Locally:**
+   - Clone or fork this repository.
+   - Open the Xcode project: `open iOS---Blog-App.xcworkspace`.
+   - Build the app locally to ensure there are no issues.
+
+2. **Download Build Artifact:**
+   - Follow the steps mentioned above to download the latest build artifact from GitHub Actions.
+
+3. **Upload to TestFlight:**
+   - Open Xcode.
+   - Archive the app: `Product` > `Archive`.
+   - In the Xcode Organizer, click "Distribute App" and choose "App Store Connect."
+   - Follow the prompts to upload the build to TestFlight.
+
+4. **Beta Testing:**
+   - Once uploaded, invite testers via the App Store Connect website.
+   - Testers will receive an invitation to install the app via TestFlight.
+
+That's it! You've successfully implemented CI/CD and uploaded your iOS app to TestFlight for beta testing.
+
+Feel free to customize this section based on your specific CI/CD setup and TestFlight process. If you have any specific details or steps you'd like to include, please adjust accordingly.
