The Relation Between Application and Environment Pipelines
This lesson explores the relationship between application and environment pipelines by describing the flow from a commit to deployment.
Keep in mind that I am aware we haven’t gone into detail on the application pipeline, that’s coming soon. Right now, we’ll focus on the overall flow between the two.
The flow from a commit to the master
branch to deployment to the staging environment
Everything starts with a push into the master
branch of an application repository (e.g., go-demo-6). That push might be direct or through a pull request. For now, what matters is that something is pushed to the master

We haven’t gone through different ways we can define webhook endpoints. What matters is that the webhook might initiate activity that performs a set of steps defined in jenkins-x.yml
residing in the repository that launched the process. Such an activity might do nothing if jenkins-x.yml
ignores that branch, it might execute only a fraction of the steps, or it might run all of them. It all depends on the branch
filters. In ...
