This build-harness is a collection of Makefiles to facilitate building READMEs, Golang projects, Dockerfiles, Helm charts, and more. It's designed to work with CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions.

Usage

[!IMPORTANT] Regarding the phase out of git.io Prior to April 25, 2022, practically all Cloud Posse Makefiles pulled in a common Makefile via
curl -sSL -o .build-harness "https://git.io/build-harness"
The git.io service is a link shortener/redirector provided by GitHub, but they no longer support it. We have therefore set up https://cloudposse.tools/build-harness as an alternative and are migrating all our Makefiles to use that URL instead. We encourage you to update any references you have in your own code derived from our code, whether by forking one of our repos or simply following one of our examples.

Full details are available in our git.io deprecation documentation.

At the top of your Makefile add, the following...

-include $(shell curl -sSL -o .build-harness "https://cloudposse.tools/build-harness"; echo .build-harness)

This will download a Makefile called .build-harness and include it at run time. We recommend adding the .build-harness file to your .gitignore.

This automatically exposes many new targets that you can leverage throughout your build & CI/CD process.

Run make help for a list of available targets.

NOTE: the / is interchangable with the : in target names

GitHub Actions

The build-harness is compatible with GitHub Actions.

Here's an example of running make readme/lint

name: build-harness/readme/lint
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  build:
    name: 'Lint README.md'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master
    - uses: cloudposse/build-harness@master
      with:
        entrypoint: /usr/bin/make
        args: readme/lint

Quick Start

Here's how to get started...

git clone https://github.com/cloudposse/build-harness.git to pull down the repository
make init to initialize the build-harness

Examples

Here is a real world example:

Extending `build-harness` with targets from another repo

It is possible to extend the build-harness with targets and entire modules of your own, without having to fork or modify build-harness itself. This might be useful if, for example, you wanted to maintain some tooling that was specific to your environment that didn't have enough general applicability to be part of the main project. This makes it so you don't necessarily need to fork build-harness itself - you can place a repo defined by the environment variable BUILD_HARNESS_EXTENSIONS_PATH (a filesystem peer of build-harness named build-harness-extensions by default) and populate it with tools in the same Makefile within module structure as build-harness has. Modules will be combined and available with a unified make command.

Using the "auto-init" feature

Typically, the build-harness project requires running make init before any of the Makefile targets can be invoked. The init target will "install" the build-harness project and "include" the Makefile from the build-harness project.

Alternatively, the "auto-init" feature can automatically run the init logic for you to install the build-harness and help keep the install up-to-date. This feature is enabled using the env or Makefile variable BUILD_HARNESS_AUTO_INIT=true. By default, this feature is disabled; to enable it, you must set the variable yourself.

Note: The "auto-init" feature is a convenience for running make interactively. Regardless of your setting of BUILD_HARNESS_AUTO_INIT, "auto-init" will be disabled if make is running inside a Docker container. Scripts and automation should continue to call make init explicitly.

BUILD_HARNESS_AUTO_INIT = true

-include $(shell curl -sSL -o .build-harness "https://cloudposse.tools/build-harness"; echo .build-harness)

The "auto-init" feature will also keep the install up-to-date. It will check the value of BUILD_HARNESS_BRANCH, get the commit ID, compare that to the current checkout, and update the clone if they differ. A useful side-effect is that it becomes easy to pin to versions of the build-harness from your own project, and let the build-harness update itself as you update the pin:

BUILD_HARNESS_AUTO_INIT = true
BUILD_HARNESS_BRANCH = {TAG}

-include $(shell curl -sSL -o .build-harness "https://cloudposse.tools/build-harness"; echo .build-harness)

Now when you run make the project will update itself to use the version specified by the BUILD_HARNESS_BRANCH value:
