Next Steps: Development and Build Pipelines

After exploring the installed Precomposer components, you can begin developing your own features and services.

Step 1: Copy and Clone Service Repositories

To start development, create a copy one or more of the following Precomposer service repositories by using "Use this template"

Step 2: Configure GitHub Secrets and Variables

  1. Create the EPC_PAT Secret:

Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Actions -> Secrets -> New repository secret.

  • Add a new secret named EPC_PAT in each of your newly created Precomposer service repositories.
  • Use the same credentials as you used for the PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN that you used during the installation process.
  1. Set the DEPLOYMENT_REPO_NAME Variable (if applicable):

This is only necessary if you renamed the epc-deployment-configurations repository during the installation step:

  • Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Actions -> Variables -> New repository variable.
  • Create a variable named DEPLOYMENT_REPO_NAME and set its value to the name of the renamed deployment-configuration repository.

Step 3: Commit and Deploy

Once the above configurations are complete, you can start committing changes to your service repositories. The corresponding pipelines will automatically:

  1. Build the changes.
  2. Deploy the updates to your environment.

For more details on how the pipelines work, refer to the Build and Deployment Pipelines Documentation.
