How to create a Python package in 2022

Do you have any tutorials for setting up CI/CD? My impression was that's all stuff that runs in the cloud but if it's something I can use on my own personal projects I'd play with it. Frankly a lot of these things become unintelligible. I've used pre-commit for things like black and autopep8 and that's all pretty understandable to me. The CI/CD things I've read all seem like everyone already understands some giant Rube Goldberg contraption that they're strapping on things for some reason that probably matters to giant dev teams.

Good example of CI/CD that's not a rube goldberg machine per se:

Thank you. So does CI/CD require becoming dependent on a cloud service such as github?

Not necessarily, it just depends on how invested you are in the CI/CD pipeline for any given project, your preferences regarding self-hosting vs. cloud, and the amount of time you have to dedicate to the subject.

Strictly speaking, any tool or set of tools that allow you to trigger building & deploying/publishing artifacts in response to source control commits can be used to build a CI/CD pipeline. One could write bash scripts linked to a cron job that pulls a remote repository every n minutes and then performs some scripted actions to integrate changes between branches before building & publishing the artifact to a local SFTP server.

If you prefer a more mature solution with better documentation however, there is a (non-exhaustive) list of CI/CD tools on this awesome-devops list:

edit: I saw gitlab on the list and realized it is probably the closest self-hosted equivalent to the github option I mentioned previously
