Creating the CI/CD pipeline

Small batch sizes reduce deployment risk because it is much easier to reason about their correctness and much easier to correct them when they are in error. Task branch workflow is a Git workflow that is focused on extremely short-lived branches, in the range of just hours rather than days. It is similar to an issue branch workflow, in that each task is tracked as an issue in the project management tool. The length of an issue is ambiguous, however, because an issue can be used to track an entire feature. This recipe demonstrates how issue tracking, Git branches, pull requests, testing, code review, and the CI/CD pipeline work together in a task branch workflow to govern small focused units of deployment.
