Manual CI/CD Setup

For GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins, or any CI system that supports Node.js.

GitLab CI

compliance:
  stage: test
  image: node:22
  before_script:
    - npm install -g @greenarmor/ges
  script:
    - ges audit --ci
    - ges score --ci
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - reports/

CircleCI

jobs:
  compliance:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/node:22
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: npm install -g @greenarmor/ges
      - run: ges audit --ci
      - run: ges report --format markdown --output reports/compliance.md
      - store_artifacts:
          path: reports

Jenkins

pipeline {
  agent any
  stages {
    stage('Compliance') {
      steps {
        sh 'npm install -g @greenarmor/ges'
        sh 'ges audit --ci'
        sh 'ges report --format markdown --output reports/compliance.md'
      }
      post {
        always {
          archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'reports/**', allowEmptyArchive: true
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Generic Shell

For any CI system:

npm install -g @greenarmor/ges
ges audit --ci
ges score --ci
ges report --format markdown --output reports/compliance.md

Recommended Pipeline Structure

┌──────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐    ┌──────────────┐
│  Build       │───►│  Test        │───►│  Compliance  │───►│  Deploy      │
│              │    │              │    │              │    │              │
│  npm build   │    │  npm test    │    │  ges audit   │    │  (only if    │
│              │    │              │    │  ges scan    │    │   all pass)  │
└──────────────┘    └──────────────┘    │  ges report  │    └──────────────┘
                                        └──────────────┘

Place the compliance stage before deployment so that critical findings block releases.

Exercise: Add GESF to Your CI Pipeline

1. Choose your CI system from the examples above
2. Add the compliance stage to your pipeline config
3. Push a commit that triggers the pipeline
4. Verify the compliance stage runs and reports findings
5. Intentionally introduce a vulnerability and verify the pipeline fails

Exercise: Generate Reports in CI

Add report generation to your CI pipeline and store the results as artifacts:

# In your CI script
ges audit --ci --json > reports/audit-results.json
ges report -f markdown -o reports/compliance.md
ges report -f html -o reports/compliance.html

This gives you: - Machine-readable results (audit-results.json) - Developer-friendly report (compliance.md) - Stakeholder-friendly report (compliance.html)
