Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines optimize software development by automating code testing and deployment. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up a CI/CD pipeline for Laravel projects using GitHub, Jenkins, and Docker. From Dockerizing your Laravel application to automating builds, tests, and deployments, you'll learn how to achieve a seamless delivery process.

Prerequisites

1. GitHub Account: To store your code and manage the repository.
2. Jenkins: For Continuous Integration and Deployment automation.
3. Docker: To containerize the Laravel application for consistent environments.
4. Laravel Project: A Laravel application you want to deploy.

This setup automates the process of code integration, testing, and deployment for a Laravel application using GitHub, Jenkins, and Docker. You can extend this pipeline with more stages like linting, security scanning, or notifications based on your project needs. This approach ensures consistency and reliability in your deployment process, and Docker makes sure that the application runs the same in all environments.
