micro-ci 0.1.2

Micro-CI: A minimalist runner for GitLab CI configurations.

Micro-CI

Micro-CI is a tiny package that allow you to run entire continuous integration (CI) pipelines locally, without having to run all commands manually or maintaining separate scripts for it.

Introduction

Have you ever pushed to a git repository, just to see one component of the CI pipeline fail? The next time you run pylint, mypy, flake8 and all the other tools manually before pushing changes. Maybe you have created a script. Or you even set up pre-commit hooks to run things automatically. But once something changes in the CI pipeline, you have to update your pre-commit hooks again. That's a waste of time!

Micro-CI reads the GitLab CI configuration file .gitlab-ci.yml and lets you run all stages with one command. Therefore, your local dry-run is always consistent with the "official" CI pipeline.

Getting Started

You can install Micro-CI with PIP easily:

pip install micro-ci

From now on, you can just run mci in the folder where your .gitlab-ci.yml file is located.

mci runs in the context merge_request, so that all those stages should be executed that are run in a merge request pipeline.
