Electron.js enables developers to create cross-platform desktop applications using familiar web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to setting up a continuous integration (CI) pipeline with CircleCI to automate the packaging and distribution of Electron.js desktop applications. By using Electron Forge, developers can easily scaffold an Electron project and configure it to generate distribution builds for different operating systems, including Linux and Debian-based platforms. The tutorial explains how to configure the CI pipeline to automate tasks such as checking out the repository, updating npm, installing dependencies, and storing the build artifacts, ensuring a streamlined process for distributing applications to end users.
