ichec-platform-core

ichec_platform_core is a small Python library that other ICHEC platform tools build on. It works with files, HTTP, git and the GitLab API. It also has a few commands, which are handy for trying the library out.

Install

pip install ichec_platform_core

Before you upgrade, read CHANGELOG.md for what each release removes.

Replace text in files

ichec_platform_core filesystem replace_in_files --target $REPLACE_DIR --search $FILE_WITH_SEARCH_TERM --replace $FILE_WITH_REPLACE_TERM

This replaces the search text with the replacement in every file under the target directory. Both come from files, so you don't have to escape them for the shell as you would with sed.

Download a file

ichec_platform_core network download --url $RESOURCE_URL --download_dir $WHERE_TO_PUT_DOWNLOAD

Work with GitLab and git

Get the version of a project's latest release:

ichec_platform_core gitlab --token $GITLAB_TOKEN latest_release $PROJECT_ID

Add --asset_name $ASSET_NAME to download an asset from that release. The token needs the Developer role and the read_api scope.

Inside a git repo, show information about it:

ichec_platform_core git info

In Python, use GitlabClient and HttpClient for the same things.
