Building your first pipeline

For this first pipeline, you will create a task that will output some text, similar to the hello world task used in the last chapter. You will then use this task to build your first pipeline:

1. First, start with your basic task object in a file called hello-pipeline.yaml:

   apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1 
   kind: Task 
   metadata: 
     name: first-task 
   spec: 
     steps:

2. By now, you know that you can create a simple step that produces an echo statement using a UBI container. You can keep this step with the minimal information necessary to run:

      - image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-minimal 
        command: 
          - /bin/bash 
        args: ['-c', 'echo Hello from first task'] 

   Note

   You can add multiple Tekton objects in a YAML file using the --- separator in your file.

3. You can now add the pipeline base definition...
