Automating Your Workflow
summary
Float replaces repetitive steps with concrete automation: Jenkins running on a Mac mini schedules CI / nightly / release jobs, checks out branches, runs tests and static analysis, packages IPAs and performs code signing using the login keychain, and uploads builds to HockeyApp. A manual two‑hour Excel→SQL workflow becomes an automated pipeline that now takes under 10 minutes, with commits and even merge requests created by the bot. Build health uses tracked warnings, a task scanner and promotion rules to decide when to send to clients.
