THIS PAGE IS NOT FINISHED YET

We'll be adding TravisCI and Coveralss integration to a Boost library. Let's take a Boost.LexicalCast as an example. At the end we'll get ​something like this.

TravisCI integration

Travis requires some access permissions to the repository that are usually provided by Boostorg admins. However bothering admins is actually not required:

• go to the Boost project page (in our example it would be ​https://github.com/boostorg/lexical_cast)
• press the "Fork" button at the top right corner
• now you have a copy of the boost project (in our example it is ​https://github.com/apolukhin/lexical_cast). Go to the ​https://travis-ci.org/profile/ and enable builds for the forked project.
• clone the original boostorg repo or use an existing clone. Change directory to the clone folder (cd boost_maintain/boost/libs/lexical_cast/)
• add our forked repo as another remote host for default push: git remote set-url --add origin git@github.com:apolukhin/lexical_cast.git. If everything is right, you'll see something like this if you execute git remote -v:

  origin	git@github.com:boostorg/lexical_cast.git (fetch)
  origin	git@github.com:boostorg/lexical_cast.git (push)
  origin	git@github.com:apolukhin/lexical_cast.git (push)
  

• now add the .travis.yml file, set PROJECT_TO_TEST in it to the library name, tune the README.md and commit changes:

  cp ../variant/.travis.yml ./
  sed -i 's/PROJECT_TO_TEST=.*/PROJECT_TO_TEST=lexical_cast/g' .travis.yml
  git add .travis.yml
  
  cp ../variant/README.md ./
  sed -i 's/variant/lexical_cast/g' README.md
  sed -i 's/apolukhin/<your login>/g' README.md
  gedit README.md
  git add README.md
