cals-cli

Getting started

Make sure you have a recent version of node. E.g. by following https://github.com/creationix/nvm

Clone this repo.

Use NPM to link this repo as a global package:

npm install
npm link

Run the cli from any folder (as it is linked by NPM it will also work in other terminals):

cals

Updating

The npm link command will also build the application. When changing the code, a rebuild must be done.

git pull
npm run build

Development

Source the version that uses the source files directly.

source alias-dev.sh

Run the cli:

cals

This is slower than using the build with npm link due to running through the TypeScript compiler.

Goals of CLI

• Provide an uniform way of consistently doing repeatable CALS tasks
• Provide simple guidelines to improve the experience for developers
• A tool that everybody uses and gets ownership of
• Automate repeatable CALS tasks as we go

Ideas and future work

• Release as package on NPM
• Automate onboarding of people
  • Granting access to various resources: AWS, GitHub, Confluence, JIRA, Slack, ...
• Automate offboarding of people
• Automate generation of new projects/resources
  • Creating GitHub repos, giving permissions etc
  • Slack channels
  • AWS account and structure
  • Checklist for manual processes
• AWS infrastructure management, e.g. scripts such as https://github.com/capralifecycle/rvr-aws-infrastructure/blob/master/rvr/create-stack.sh
  • cals aws ...

Snyk management

https://snyk.docs.apiary.io/reference/projects

• Automatically set up project in Snyk
• Report of which repos are in Snyk and which is not
• Detect active vs disabled projects in Snyk (no way through API now?)
• Report issues in Snyk grouped by our projects
