pont

Pont

pont is French for "bridge"

This repository contains code that:

• Behaves well in both Ruby 2.4.10 & 3.1.0
• Is used in both soleil & garcon
• Is relatively dependency free, or uses dependencies shared by soleil & garcon
• Is probably going to be short lived (moved to soleil only at some point)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pont', git: 'https://github.com/DWPHoldings/pont.git', branch: 'main'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pont

Usage

In order to use pont locally, you need to configure your local system to allow bundler to use a personal access token.

Soleil & Garcon are configured to use a shared access token that was generated using the InspireOps account. If you attempt to set up pont in another repository please use an InspireOps token. Do not share one of your personal tokens on Github Actions or on our Heroku app. The repo access grants access to all of your repositories and you don't want to do that. The InspireOps account has limited access and is our "machine" account

To generate a new personal token:

• Visit the New personal access token page
• Fill in the Note with inspire_bundle_github__com or something descriptive
• Set the Expiration to something you're comfortable with (if you don't choose No expiration you'll have to regenerate this periodically)
• Copy the token value (referenced as <token> in subsequent commands)
• Set the token up:
• Globally: bundle config --global github.com <token> 1. This works for all repositories on your local machine and can be run from any directory
• Locally: bundle config --local github.com <token> 1. This only works in one repository on your local machine and must be run from the root of the repository directory you want to have access to the token
• Validate the token is set
• Globally: cat ~/.bundle/config and see the token in the output
• Locally: cat .bundle/config and see the token in the output

Ensure that whichever option you chose, the token isn't saved in a file that is committed.
