We are Planning of Implementing CI/CD pipeline in ignition perspective project using GitHub, so I want to know is there any way after pushing changes to PROD we don't have to restart Ignition Gateway? Or any Easy Approach

Calling `system.projects.requestScan` will cause the changes to be picked up.

> **[system.project.requestScan | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-project/system-project-requestScan)**
>
> Requests a manual scan of the projects directory in order to refresh projects and their resources.

You could expose this via a WebDev endpoint to be called externally.

we don't have wed Dev Module.  
Is there any script in python or yaml to write on Ignition Tag so from there we can trigger system.projects.requestScan?

You can call the `system.project.requestScan` method from a tag event script.

How like code pushing from GitHub is done through CI/CD pipeline  
for that we have yaml file written. Do we have any reference for that?
