CI/CD over local builds

Development May 13, 2022

Why should I build my projects centrally with Github Actions or Gitlab Runners?

Building your projects centrally makes sense for different reasons.

Your development machine doesn't have to be that beefy.
Builds are reliable, transparent and trustworthy as everyone can check the build instructions.
Builds are immediately available and you can configure your pipelines to generate releases automatically.
Pushing your commits to a certain branch is enough to generate new binary releases.

For now that's all but I guess I will come up with more proper reasoning. 😄
