The CI folder contains the configuration files and scripts used to build, test,
and deploy TensorFlow. This folder is typically used by continuous integration
(CI) tools to build and test TensorFlow whenever there is a change to the
code. This folder is broken into subfolders that represent the level of support

[TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/) is an end-to-end open source platform
for machine learning. It has a comprehensive, flexible ecosystem of
[tools](https://www.tensorflow.org/resources/tools),
[libraries](https://www.tensorflow.org/resources/libraries-extensions), and
[community](https://www.tensorflow.org/community) resources that lets

as a rough example of the steps below.

All the files referenced below are located in the same directory as this README,
unless indicated otherwise.

1) Add the new version to the `VERSIONS` variable inside
   `tensorflow/tools/toolchains/python/python_repo.bzl`. \
   While this isn't necessary for running the updater, it is required for
   actually using the new version with Tensorflow.

1. Creating a PR and observing the presubmit test results
2. Running the CI scripts locally, as explained below
3. **Google employees only**: Google employees can use an internal-only tool
called "MLCI" that makes testing more convenient: it can execute any full CI job
against a pending change. Search for "MLCI" internally to find it.

You may invoke a CI script of your choice by following these instructions:
