Pipelight

Appearance

Bootstrap a project ​

The only commands you need to type to be up and running are:

sh
pipelight init # Create a configuration file
pipelight run # Run a pipeline (interactive)
pipelight logs -v # Display logs (tree view)
pipelight init # Create a configuration file
pipelight run # Run a pipeline (interactive)
pipelight logs -v # Display logs (tree view)

Read the following to enable pipelines automatic triggers with or without git. These are optional, nonetheless pretty practical!

Start a project with git ​

Recommendations

Pipelight saves its activity inside the .pipelight hidden directory. You may want to prevent the whole directory from being pushed by adding it in your .gitignore file.

If you wish to keep record of the pipelines logs(Json) inside your repo only ignore .pipelight/internals.

First, if you wish to create a template configuration file and immediately try it out, run:

sh
pipelight init
pipelight init

If they do not exists yet, you can see to files are created.

sh
pipelight.ts # Your configuration file where your pipelines lay
.pipelight_ignore # List of files to be ignored by the file watcher
pipelight.ts # Your configuration file where your pipelines lay
.pipelight_ignore # List of files to be ignored by the file watcher

Pipelines can be automatically triggered on git events (pipelight managed git-hooks).

Whether it be client side in a regular repository or server side in a bare repository, triggers needs to be manualy enabled.

DANGER

This operation overwrites the .git/hooks folder. Be sure to move your manually defined hooks elsewhere before enabling pipelight hooks.

Enable pipelight managed git-hooks:

sh
pipelight enable git-hooks
pipelight enable git-hooks

You may want to check that the .git/hooks dierctory has been modified.

sh
ls .git/hooks
# or
tree .git/hooks
ls .git/hooks
# or
tree .git/hooks

Enable the file watcher

sh
pipelight enable watcher
pipelight enable watcher

You may want to check that the event listener is running in the background

sh
ps aux | grep pipelight
ps aux | grep pipelight

Start a project without git ​

Create a template config file.

sh
pipelight init
pipelight init

Enable the file watcher

sh
pipelight enable watcher
pipelight enable watcher

Check that the event listener is running in the background

sh
ps aux | grep pipelight
ps aux | grep pipelight
