## Setting up continuous integration (CI) on your fork
Zstd uses a number of different continuous integration (CI) tools to ensure that new changes
are well tested before they make it to an official release. Specifically, we use the platforms
travis-ci, circle-ci, and appveyor.
Changes cannot be merged into the main dev branch unless they pass all of our CI tests.
The easiest way to run these CI tests on your own before submitting a PR to our dev branch
is to configure your personal fork of zstd with each of the CI platforms. Below, you'll find
instructions for doing this.
### travis-ci
Follow these steps to link travis-ci with your github fork of zstd
1. Make sure you are logged into your github account
2. Go to https://travis-ci.org/
3. Click 'Sign in with Github' on the top right
4. Click 'Authorize travis-ci'
5. Click 'Activate all repositories using Github Apps'
6. Select 'Only select repositories' and select your fork of zstd from the drop down
7. Click 'Approve and Install'
8. Click 'Sign in with Github' again. This time, it will be for travis-pro (which will let you view your tests on the web dashboard)
9. Click 'Authorize travis-pro'
10. You should have travis set up on your fork now.
### circle-ci

### appveyor
Follow these steps to link circle-ci with your girhub fork of zstd
1. Make sure you are logged into your github account
2. Go to https://www.appveyor.com/
3. Click 'Sign in' on the top right
4. Select 'Github' on the left panel
5. Click 'Authorize appveyor'
6. You might be asked to select which repositories you want to give appveyor permission to. Select your fork of zstd if you're prompted
7. You should have appveyor set up on your fork now.
### General notes on CI
CI tests run every time a pull request (PR) is created or updated. The exact tests
that get run will depend on the destination branch you specify. Some tests take
longer to run than others. Currently, our CI is set up to run a short
series of tests when creating a PR to the dev branch and a longer series of tests
when creating a PR to the master branch. You can look in the configuration files
of the respective CI platform for more information on what gets run when.
Most people will just want to create a PR with the destination set to their local dev
branch of zstd. You can then find the status of the tests on the PR's page. You can also
re-run tests and cancel running tests from the PR page or from the respective CI's dashboard.
