BuildCI

BuildCI is a tool to aide developers in creating their development pipelines. It's designed to automatically download and install all dependencies a developer needs for their development environment and manage configuration files that may contain secrets.

How to install

NodeJS v12.x.x or higher must be installed, along with NPM.

To install, open a terminal and enter:

npm -g install buildci

Simple Build Example

In a new directory, create a BUILDME.json file and enter:

{
	"name": "Simple Typescript Build Example",
	"dependencies:": [
			{ "program": "node", "buildBundle": "nodejs" },
			{ "program": "tsc", "buildBundle": "typescript" }
		]
	"builds": [{
		"name": "build",
		"os": "all",
		"cmd": "tsc build ."
	}]
}

This BUILDME configuration will ensure that NodeJS and Typescript are installed if a build is started using BuildCI. To start a build using BuildCI enter into a terminal:

buildci build

If the dependencies NodeJS and Typescript are missing, they will be installed prior to doing the buildci build command.
