Travis CI is a tool for continuous integration and delivery that automatically tests code commits and pull requests. It can run syntax checks, unit tests, linting, and generate code coverage reports. Travis CI can also deploy production builds, packages, and code to services like WordPress and GitHub. The document provides an example Travis configuration file and discusses how to add badges to readmes to indicate build status. Resources like PHPUnit, PHP CodeSniffer, WordPress Coding Standards, and JavaScript tools like ESLint and Prettier are recommended for use with Travis CI on WordPress plugins and projects.

I am a Buffalo native working in Virginia Beach as a WordPress plugin and API developer for
BoldGrid since 2014. Technology (electronics, computer hardware and software) has always
been a major interest of mine since the first grade. I also enjoy traveling, motorsports,
snowboarding, playing guitar, and spending time at the beach.

3. What is Travis CI and why should I use it?
● Travis CI provides configurable automated CI/CD.
● Continuous Integration is the practice of merging small code changes frequently.
● Continuous Delivery is the ability to get changes into production.
● Test you GitHub commits, pull requests, and tags.
○ Syntax
○ Unit tests (phpunit)
○ Code Sniffing (phpcs)
○ Lint checks (prettier-eslint)
● Generate code coverage reports
● Deploy production builds/packages
○ Build a distribution package / ZIP file.
○ Deploy to WordPress SVN
○ Deploy to GitHub Releases
● Automation will save a lot of time in a developer's workflow.
