Focus on What Matters by Automating the Small Things
summary
Explains concrete CI setups and shows working scripts: CircleCI and Google Cloud Build configs, GitHub PR and issue templates, Gradle tasks to install pre-push git hooks, ktlint and detekt integrated into builds, and a Danger Ruby setup that posts danger inline comments and an apk size reporting message. Demonstrates automating release uploads (Crashlytics distribution, Play publisher), auto-generated release notes from git logs, and notes a default Android project often has about a dozen out‑of‑date dependencies.
