Travis-CI for Github public projects - the best friends to work together

For Github public projects, it's better to clearly provide the build status so everyone has the confidence to use your code.
It's absolutely necessary to have a Continuous Integration (CI) service integrated with our projects.

There are a series of such online CI services and so far I love Travis-CI the most as IMHO, they're the best friends to work together.

In short, Travis-CI provides online CI services. Most importantly, it's free of charge for open source projects and has fully integrated with Github.

To make it happen, simply follow below steps can do:

1. Login with existing Github account and it will automatically sync our public Github repositories which may take a couple of minutes (depending on how many repositories you have in Github);
2. Enable one specific (or all) repository for further CI service by one single click to switch on;
3. Add a dedicated .travis.yml file under our project (see attached below for my project as an example);
4. Git add, commit, push to Github to automatically trigger Travis CI service;
5. To display the build status in Github project, simply do these:
• Go to the specific repository (e.g. https://travis-ci.org/{username or org}/{repository})
• Click the build image and select the Markdown from the dropdown list and copy the text;
• Paste it into README.md of our Github project.
  For example, below is the text for my project:
  
  [](https://travis-ci.org/itstarting/springboot-jersey-swagger)
  
6. Then git add, commit, push to Github again and the build status will be displayed in our Github project (see my project as an example here).
