Workflows directory
All CI/CD workflows are stored in the .github/workflows directory in the root of your application and IaC repositories.
The default Golden Path setup assumes a structure where an application is built and pushed to both dev and prod environments via a single IaC repository.
Step 1: Create a configuration folder for dev environment
To separate dev and prod workflow configuration, we recommend creating a subdirectory for each environment.
For both infrastructure and application repository, create a _config/dev directory:
Note: All workflow files from Boilerplate templates will be generated in the root of the workflows directory. The _config/dev/ directory is used to store configuration files for the environment.
Step 2: Create a common configuration file
For both infrastructure and application repository, create a common configuration file, change values according to the environment
AccountId: "1234567890"
Region: "eu-west-1"
Team: "pirates"
Environment: "pirates-dev"
AccountId: "1234567890"
Region: "eu-west-1"
Team: "pirates"
Environment: "pirates-dev"
Step 3: Create a packages.yml file
For both infrastructure and application repository, create a packages.yml file in the _config/dev directory.
DefaultPackagePathPrefix: "boilerplate/github-actions"
DefaultPackagePathPrefix: "boilerplate/github-actions"
DefaultPackagePathPrefix: this path is used by the ok tool to locate the GitHub Actions packages.
Commit your files
At this stage it is a good idea to commit your files.
