How is "CI/CD" said aloud?
CI/CD is spoken as "C-I C-D" or "C-I slash C-D" /siː aɪ siː diː/ — spelling out all four letters (see-eye-see-dee). The full phrases "continuous integration / continuous delivery" are used for clarity in formal contexts. So "set up a C-I-C-D pipeline," "configure C-I slash C-D." Do not say "sick-ee-dee."
2 / 5
How is "Jenkins" said aloud?
Jenkins is pronounced "JEN-kinz" /ˈdʒɛŋkɪnz/ — two syllables, stress on the first, soft J /dʒ/ as in "jam," ending in /nz/. So "build with JEN-kinz," "a JEN-kinz pipeline." It is an English surname used as the tool name (like the butler character). Do not use a German Y sound or stress the second syllable.

How is "CircleCI" said aloud?
CircleCI is said "CIRCLE-C-I" or equivalently "CIRCLE-see-eye" — the word "circle" /ˈsɜːrkəl/ followed by the letters "C, I" (see-eye). Both forms are used. So "run on CIRCLE-C-I," "a CIRCLE-see-eye job." Primary stress on "CIRCLE." Do not blend the CI into a separate word.

How is "ArgoCD" said aloud?
ArgoCD is said "AR-go-C-D" /ˈɑːrɡoʊ siː diː/ — "AR-go" (two syllables, stress on AR, hard g, long /oʊ/) then the letters "C, D" (see-dee). So "deploy with AR-go-C-D," "an AR-go-C-D application." It is named after the Argo, the ship from Greek myth. Do not say "AR-GOD" or blend "CD" into a single sound.

How is "GitHub Actions" said aloud?
GitHub Actions is said "GIT-hub ACK-shuns" /ˈɡɪthʌb ˈækʃənz/ — "GIT-hub" (stress on GIT) followed by "actions" /ˈækʃənz/ (ACK-shuns, two syllables, stress on first, the "ti" is /ʃ/). So "automate with GIT-hub ACK-shuns." The abbreviation "GHA" is said "G-H-A" (gee-aitch-ay) in writing but the full name is spoken in conversation.
