Private Software Development Cloud
Due to the recent announcement of the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft and the (sometimes very emotional) discussions about possible ramifications, it becomes obvious that people, teams or companies use services like GitHub for many different reasons.

Probably you know this first hand: it is easy to start documenting something, but the difficult part is to keep it consistent, in a central location and up to date.

Example setup of continuous integration platform
In software development there is no such thing as the holy grail, no perfect process that you can follow in each project and that ensures that everything works out smoothly. But there are tons of very helpful best practices that you can use as a guideline.
