Circle CI is a continuous integration platform that automatically runs your build in a clean container or virtual machine, allowing the code stored on your repository to be directly tested for every commit. CircleCI can be used in the cloud as a SaaS solution or installed as a self-hosted solution on your environment. Let's perform the following steps to get started using the cloud version of CircleCI:
- Sign up for CircleCI using your GitHub account by going to https://circleci.com/signup/.
- After you've signed up, click on the ADD PROJECTS button on the left-hand side of the Dashboard view:
- From the upper-left drop-down menu, select the GitHub account where you want to build your projects.
