In this tutorial, I would teach you how to create a complete DevOps<\/a> pipeline for free. We would push a SpringBoot<\/a> application to Github<\/a>, then to Heroku<\/a>. The we deploy and test it.<\/p>\n

We would do as a step by step tutorial. And it would be very\u00a0 easy to follow<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Prerequisites<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Push Application to Github<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Deploy from Github to Heroku<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    1. Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h5>\n

    You should have a Spring Boot application that you have tested locally on your computer.<\/p>\n

    A Github account (if not, sign up for free at www.github.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

    A Heroku account(sign up for free at www.heroku.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    2. Push Your Application to Github<\/strong><\/h5>\n

    Follow the steps below to push your application from Spring to Github<\/p>\n

    Step 1:<\/strong> Create a repository in Github (this is very easy to do!)<\/p>\n

    Step 2<\/strong>: In Spring Tool Suite, right-click on your project and choose “Show in Local Terminal” > “Git Bash”)<\/p>\n

    If you don’t see Git Bash, then follow step 3 below<\/p>\n

    Step 3<\/strong>: Download and install Git Bash<\/a>(download it from here<\/a>). Then restart Spring Tool Suit and repeat step 2)<\/p>\n

    Step 4<\/strong>: Initialize a local Git repository using the command below in the terminal<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    $ <\/span>git init\n<\/pre>\n
    Step 5<\/strong>: Add your project files to the local git repository. This stages them for the first commit<\/p>\n
    $ <\/span>git add .\n# Adds the files in the local repository and stages them for commit.<\/span>\n<\/pre>\n
    Step 6:<\/strong>\u00a0 Now commit the file from your workspace repository to the local repository<\/p>\n
    $ <\/span>git commit -m \"The first commit\"<\/span>\n# Commits the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote github repository. <\/span>\n<\/pre>\n
    Step 7<\/strong>: Go to Github and copy the remote repository url. It ends in .git<\/p>\n
    Step 8<\/strong>: Add the remote repository url you copied and verify the remote repository. Use the command below<\/p>\n
    $ <\/span>git remote add origin <remote-repository-url>\n$ <\/span>git remote -v\n# Verifies the remote repository URL<\/span>\n<\/pre>\n
    Note<\/strong>: origin is the name we choose. You are free to use another name<\/p>\n
    Step 9:<\/strong>\u00a0 Now you can push the files to remote github repository using the command below<\/p>\n
    $ <\/span>git push origin master\n# Pushes the changes in your local repository up to the remote repository <\/span>\n<\/pre>\n
     <\/p>\n
    At this point, you can go to Github and check that the files are there.<\/p>\n
    Note<\/strong>: If for any reason, you want to remove a local repository, use the command below:<\/p>\n
    $ <\/span>git remote rm <name-of-repository>\n<\/pre>\n
     <\/p>\n
    3. Deploy from Github to Heroku<\/strong><\/h5>\n
    Also follow the steps below. This would be shorter and easier!<\/p>\n
    Step 1:<\/strong> Login to your account in Heroku and create an App. Just specify the name of the app and click on Create. This is shown below<\/p>\n
    \"Create<\/a>
    Create an App in Heroku<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
     <\/p>\n
    Step 2:<\/strong> In the Deployment method, click on Github<\/p>\n
    Step 3:<\/strong> Follow the procedure to connect go Github<\/p>\n
    Step 4:<\/strong> Provide the name of the remove repository and click on search. See figure below:
    \n    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
    Step 5:<\/strong> Then after it finds the repository, Click on Connect<\/p>\n
    Step 6<\/strong>: After a successful connection, then click on Deploy Branch<\/p>\n
    Step 7<\/strong>: If the deployment is successful, then you will see a link “View”. Click on it and your application is life!<\/p>\n
     <\/p>\n
    In the next part, we would be looking at how to automate the process. If you have challenges, then watch the step by step video tutorial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
