Automated workflows in Drupal 8 with GitHub, Composer and CircleCI
Drupal 8 uses Composer to manage dependencies. In this training, we'll look at how to keep dependencies, like Drupal core and contrib modules, out of GitHub and automate the build portion of your workflow with Continuous Integration. This will allow for cleaner pull requests, reliable site builds and integration with other tools, like Slack.
