Build Workflows Documentation

Overview

This document provides an index to build workflow documentation for the Krypton Standard Toolkit. Build workflows are automated processes that handle continuous integration, validation, and release processes.

Build Workflow Documentation

Build Workflow

The primary CI/CD workflow that validates code quality and creates releases.

Key Features:

  • ✅ Validates all pull requests
  • ✅ Multi-framework builds (.NET Framework 4.7.2 - 4.8.1, .NET 8 - 10)
  • ✅ Automated GitHub releases for master branch
  • ✅ NuGet package caching for performance
  • ✅ Fork protection

Triggers:

  • Pull requests to any branch
  • Push to protected branches (master, alpha, canary, gold, V85-LTS)
  • Manual: workflow_dispatch
