Summary

In this chapter, we covered the differences between CircleCI and Travis CI and covered the prerequisites of CircleCI. We created a new Bitbucket account and explained the basics of the Bitbucket UI and where to upload your SSH keys for repository access in Bitbucket. We then set up CircleCI in GitHub and Bitbucket and explained parts of the CircleCI web application and how to navigate around it. We finished by giving a brief overview of the CircleCI YAML configuration syntax. In the next chapter, we will go over the CircleCI commands and go over some more advanced topics in CircleCI, such as workflows.
