ican is a simple version bumper/build pipeline orchestrator
Project description
:wave: ican
Because anything you ask of it, the response is always ican
.
:man_office_worker: Motivation
There are plenty of version bumpers and build tools. But ican is the only one that is designed for the smallest teams, even the 1 man team.
The one man team has different procedures than most. Often times the one man team forgets to bump version numbers. Few even bother to keep a code repository besides their own "Dropbox."
ican brings big team development practices to small teams. ican's build number is one feature. As long as you use ican to automate your docker image builds, deployments, etc. each time your build number is incremented. That way you always have a different semantic version number, even if you don't purposely bump one of the primary 3 parts.
You can even easily use ican to start tagging docker images, as well as git commits. Soon your small team will be officially "tagging" and "releasing" software like you have a Fortune 500 CI/CD manager.
:floppy_disk: Install
Install the ican package via pypi
pip install ican
:toolbox: Sample Config
Config is done via the .ican file in your project's root diarectory.
Sample .ican config file
[version]
current = 0.1.6+build.40
[options]
log_file = ican.log
[file: version]
file = ./src/__init__.py
style = semantic
variable = __version__
[pipeline: new.release]
step1 = ./clean_my_project.sh
step2 = git commit -a
step3 = git tag -a {tag} --sign
step4 = git push origin master {tag}
Explanation
- This config defines the current version as
0.1.6
with build # 40. - All operations will be logged to the
ican.log
file. - ican will update a variable named
__version__
in./src/__init__.py
any time the bump command is run. - ican will use the
semantic
style of the version when updating this file. - All pipeline steps are typically shell-based commands.
:exclamation: Important
Take note, all sections must be unique. So if you define more than one <file: [LABEL]> section, make sure each one has a unique label.
The same is true for pipeline
sections. Each pipeline section must have a unique label.

:triangular_ruler: Config
Section | Key | Value |
---|---|---|
version | current | This is the value that ican stores the current version number in. |
version | previous | This is the previous version ican uses in case of rollback. |
options | log_file | All operations are logged to disk in this file. To turn logging off, do not define the log_file. |
aliases | [ALIAS] | Built-in command + args that [ALIAS] will trigger. Example bump patch |
file: [LABEL] | file | The filename of a file ican will update with new versions. You can use a standard unix glob (*.py) if desired. |
file: [LABEL] | style | The version format to use. Choices are [semantic, public, pep440, git] |
file: [LABEL] | variable | The variable name pointing to the version string that ican will update when versions are bumped. |
file: [LABEL] | regex | User-supplied python formattted regex string defining how to replace the file's version. |
pipeline: [LABEL] | [STEP] | A pipeline step is a cli command such as git commit -a . STEP values MUST to be unique. |
:mag: User-supplied regex
When searching for a variable, ican will search for the variable's name, followed by an =
symbol, followed by a value in either single or double quotes. There can be spaces or no spaces on either side of the =
symbol. This covers most use cases.
If your use case is more complicated, you can omit the variable
line in your config file and instead include a regex
value instead. This should be a pyton formatted regex string with a named group to identify the version
ican will replace.
[file1]
file = ./src/__init__.py
style = semantic
regex = __version__\s*=\s*(?P<quote>[\'\"])(?P<version>.+)(?P=quote)
:computer: Pipelines
Pipeline Intro
Pipelines allow you to define cli commands as well as internal ican functions to be run in a batch. They are defined inside your .ican file.
Example:
[pipeline: release]
step1 = $ICAN(bump {arg_1})
step2 = git add .
step3 = git commit -m "auto-commit for {tag}"
step4 = git tag -a {tag} -m "automated tag for release {tag}" --sign
step5 = git push origin master
step6 = $ICAN(show)
You could explicitly tell ican to run the release
pipeline with the following command:
user@mac:~/$ ican run release patch
Notice step1 uses the variable arg_1
. This references a user-supplied argument. In the above example, patch
is substituted in for {arg_1}.
Although not explicit, in newer ican version you can even leave out run
and simply type:
user@mac:~/$ ican release patch
Finally, you could omit the argument, previously we used patch
. If you omit an argument, ican will use the function's default argument. With bump, the default is build
. So the command below will bump the build number instead of the patch version before commiting to git.
user@mac:~/$ ican release
Pipeline Context
The pipeline context is available in 2 locations
- You can template your pipeline steps, using the {variable_name} format. Example:
git push origin master {tag}
- Before a pipeline runs, ican will inject your shell's environment with all pipeline context variables prefixed with ICAN_.
For example you can access semantic
in your ENV as ICAN_SEMANTIC
Pipeline Context Variables
variable | Description |
---|---|
semantic | the current version in semantic format |
public | the current version in public format |
pep440 | the current version canonical with pep440 |
git | the current version using git metadata |
major | the major portion of the semantic version |
minor | the minor portion of the semantic version |
patch | the patch portion of the semantic version |
prerelease | the major portion of the semantic version |
build | the build number |
tag | the git tag, v{public_version} |
age | REBUILD if bump build, NEW all other bumps |
env | DEVELOPMENT or PRODUCTION based on the version |
root | the root directory of your project |
previous | the previous semantic version |
:muscle: Use
You can use ican via the CLI in a typical fashion, using the format below
ican [command] [arguments] [options]
:dog2: Commands
Command | Arguments | Options | Description |
---|---|---|---|
bump | PART required |
Increments the PART of the semantic version. [major, minor, patch, prerelease] |
|
bump | --pre TOKEN |
If bumping prerelease, set the TOKEN to [alpha, beta, rc, dev] | |
pre | TOKEN required |
Set the prerelease TOKEN without bumping. | |
show | STYLE required |
Shows the current version with the format STYLE. [semantic, public, pep440, git] |
|
run | PIPELINE required |
Run the specified PIPELINE | |
rollback | none | Rollback to the previously persisted version. | |
init | none | Initialize your project with default config in the current directory. |
:roll_eyes: Options
The output and parsing of ican
can be controlled with the following options.
Name | Description |
---|---|
--verbose |
To aid in your debugging, verbose prints all messages. |
--dry-run |
Useful if used WITH --verbose, will not modify any files. |
--version |
This will displpay the current version of ican. |
