Launchpad CI tries to make software development and collaboration easier.

Use Launchpad CI to catch bugs before they go into main/master, enforce coding standards by running linters, or make sure your project's documentation is still building - or all three of them.

== How does this work? ==

 1. create a '''.launchpad.yaml''' with your desired configuration
 2. add it to your repository ''''''
 3. git push to Launchpad ''''''

Launchpad will build/test/lint/etc. your project.

After the run Launchpad will report the status of the build in the UI via a green checkmark or a red cross.

In case of an error you will additionally receive an email.

== Documentation ==

You can find the syntax for the configuration file at https://lpci.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html.

== Feature Requests / Known Issues ==

Please note that Launchpad CI still has some rough edges.

You can have a look the [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/lpci|currently known issues]]. Please let us know when you miss a feature or encounter a bug.

== Support ==

Employees of Canonical can get support at the Launchpad channel on Mattermost. External users can use the usual [[https://help.launchpad.net/|channels]].
