Project Description

For a long time, I have been planning to learn more about how OBS is integrating with "SCMs" (Source Code Management systems - for me, that means primarily git, GitLab, and GitHub). For Hack Week 22, I decided to bootstrap a trivial software project on GitHub, with automated builds in OBS, and document the steps as I go along.

Goal for this Hackweek

The first goal is to gain a complete, "A through Z" understanding of the process of integrating a software project in GitHub with OBS, including fully automated builds in OBS on every code change in mainline and implementing a semi-automated release workflow, with a real-life versioning scheme.

The second goal, perhaps more important than the first, is to completely document this "A through Z" understanding by describing in detail the exact steps that need to be taken to achieve the first goal, starting from a "blank slate".

That way, the documentation will be there for me to refer to the next time I need to do this, and it will also be there for others who are interested.
