CI/CD pipeline in the repository

“How can I configure a CI/CD pipeline using YAML to trigger a build only when changes are made to the ‘x’ folder in the ‘development’ branch, and run a simple script (e.g., echo hi)? Can someone provide a working example?”

Sure! Below is an example of how you can configure a CI/CD pipeline using YAML to:

  1. Trigger only on the development branch.
  2. Run only when changes are made to the x/ folder.
  3. Run a simple script (e.g., echo hi).

This example assumes you’re using GitHub Actions, which is one of the most popular CI/CD tools and supports YAML workflows.

.github/workflows/x-folder-change.yml

name: Run on x-folder change in development

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - development
    paths:
      - 'x/**'

jobs:
  run-script:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Run script
        run: echo hi

Explanation

  • branches: development: Only triggers when pushing to the development branch.
  • paths: 'x/**': Only triggers when files inside the x/ folder are changed.
  • echo hi: This is your sample script.

If you’re using another CI/CD platform (like GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines, or Bitbucket Pipelines), let me know — the syntax and approach will be a bit different.
