But its role in continuous deployment is much more important. This is the place you can control what I like to call "the production line" to borrow a metaphor from manufacturing. When something is going wrong with our systems at any place along the line, this script should halt new commits. So if the CI server runs a build and even one test breaks, the commit script should prohibit new code from being added to the repository. In subsequent steps, we'll add additional rules that also "stop the line," and therefore halt new commits.
