CI Generator

Setting up CI/CD from scratch means searching through docs, copying examples, and tweaking YAML for an hour. This tool looks at your project and generates the right workflow automatically.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-ci

What It Does

Scans your project to detect language and framework
Generates complete GitHub Actions workflow
Configures linting, testing, building, and deployment
Supports multiple deploy targets

Usage Examples

# Generate workflow for current project
npx ai-ci

# Specify deploy target
npx ai-ci --deploy vercel

# Preview without writing
npx ai-ci --preview

# Different targets
npx ai-ci --deploy netlify
npx ai-ci --deploy aws
npx ai-ci --deploy docker
npx ai-ci --deploy fly

Best Practices

Start simple - add complexity as needed
Cache dependencies - speeds up your builds significantly
Fail fast - run quick checks (lint) before slow ones (e2e)
Review the output - understand what it's doing before committing

When to Use This

Starting a new project and need CI immediately
Migrating from another CI system to GitHub Actions
Want a solid starting point to customize
Not sure what a modern CI workflow should include
