+# On each push to the aforementioned branches or tags with names matching the
+# pattern above, the following happens:
+#
+# - Depending on Git reference name (branch or tag name) we determine a release
+#   for a would-be artifact.
+#   - nca/release/<RESULTING NAME>
+#   - nca/feature/<RESULTING NAME>
+#   - tag-VERSION-NCA --> VERSION-nca-GIT_SHA_FIRST_8_CHARS, i.e. 2.16.1-nca-abcdef
+#
+# - Note that when pushing to nca/feature branch or creating a nca/release tag,
+#   the artifacts will have the same name (will overwrite the previous
+#   versions). However, when pushing to tag-VERSION-NCA branch, each resulting
+#   artifact will be unique.
+#
+# - We also determine if it is a release build or just a test build. This
+#   affects on where the resulting image will be pushed to.
+#
+# - Docker images (nginx and django) are built. They are tagged with release
+#   determined above and pushed to repositories stated in environment variables
+#   above. The same image is pushed to both repositories.
+#
+# - Helm chart is packaged.
+#   - Helm package is pushed to the release named as 'helm-<RESULTING NAME>'.
+#   - The package is stored under a subdirectory named in the same way as Docker
+#     image (described above).
+#   - index.yaml file is pushed to a branch named 'helm-charts-nca-<RESULTING name>'.
+#     The branch is created from helm-charts upstream branch. Changes are pushed
+#     force flag.
