Automate your most boring and repetitive tasks.

📦 A lightweight tool for CICD

Pipelight is a Rust based small(13Mb) cli tool to be used from inside a terminal.

Define pipelines using typescript, toml, hcl and yaml.
Trigger on events: git hooks, file changes...

Checkout the Documentation for a much friendly approach and a deeper understanding.

pipelight_demo

Define pipelines with a programming language.

Fold your bash commands into an object Pipeline{ Step{ Command }} written in Typescript.

As long as you know javascript, you are ready to go with your favorite syntax flavor.

Use a verbose and declarative syntax (Objects API).

const my_pipeline = {
  name: "build_my_website",
  steps: [
    {
      name: "clean directory",
      commands: ["rm -rf ./dist"],
    },
    {
      name: "build",
      commands: ["pnpm install", "pnpm lint", "pnpm build"],
    },
  ],
};

Use the provided sweet shorthands (Helpers API).

const my_pipeline = pipeline("build website", () => [
  step("clean directory", () => [`rm -rf ${build_dir}`]),
  step("build", () => ["pnpm install", "pnpm lint", "pnpm build"]),
  step("send to host", () => [`scp -r ${build_dir}`]),
  step("do stuffs on host", () => [
    ssh("host", () => ["systemctl restart nginx"]),
  ]),
]);

Define pipelines with a configuration language

For your most simple pipelines.

Toml

[[pipelines]]
name = "test"

[[pipelines.steps]]
name = "build"
commands = ["pnpm install", "pnpm build"]

[[pipelines.triggers]]
branches = ["master","dev"]
actions= ["pre-push", "pre-commit"]

Hcl

# A pipeline
pipelines = [{
  name = "test"
  steps = [{
    name     = "build"
    commands = ["pnpm install", "pnpm build"]
  }]
  triggers = [{
    branches = ["master","dev"]
    actions  = ["pre-push", "pre-commit"]
  }]
}]

Yaml

pipelines:
  - name: test
    steps:
      - name: build
        commands:
          - pnpm install
          - pnpm build
  - triggers:
      - branches:
          - master
          - dev
        actions:
          - pre-push
          - pre-commit

Automatic triggers

Add automatic triggers to your pipeline.

If you want to run tests on file change or deploy to production on push to master.

# enable watcher and git hooks.
pipelight enable git-hooks
pipelight enable watcher

pipeline.add_trigger({
  branch: ["master"],
  actions: ["pre-push"],
});

🫦 Pretty and verbose logs

Get the pipeline most relevant informations or dive into the steps and commands standard outputs.

Get the pipeline status, event, execution time... and more.

pipelight logs

Get a tranparent outputs of every subprocesses.

pipelight logs -vvvv

🛠️ Install

[!IMPORTANT]
Pipelight can now be installed under MacOs and Windows WSL

Checkout the instruction guide for your favorite package manager.

🚀 Get started!

Create a default configuration file pipelight.ts in your project root directory with:

pipelight init

Try the harmless default pipeline:

pipelight run

And explore logs:

pipelight logs -vvvv

Roadmap

Support other configuration languages:

Can't tell the difference between them, but Rustacean made crates for it.

feat: add support for hashicorp hcl
feat: add support for apple pkl
feat: add support for CNCF kcl

Crate:

doc: add example for pipelight_utils crate

Javascript helpers:

feat: add helper for jucenit proxy
refactor: rewrite docker helpers in rust wasm

Cli:

feat: add a tui interface with ratatui
feat: add a live view for processing pipelines

Community:

feat: add a news page on Documentation website
refactor: move out of discord
