Tesuto

Tesuto is a minimalist tool that allows you to automate things like builds, deploys etc. It uses YAML syntax for their project to be less harder to understand how to work with it.

The main goal of this project is to provide a utility that is fast, lightweight and easy-to-use.

Installation

You can install Tesuto with cargo:

cargo install tesuto

Also, if you have cargo-binstall installed, you can use it too:

cargo binstall tesuto

If you would like to build Tesuto from source, use this command:

cargo build --release

Usage

To initialize new project use new subcommand to run initialization wizard:

tesuto new

The initialization wizard will ask you 2 questions:

How you want to name your project? This name is used to easily identify which project you are running.
Do you want to use example project? If you type Y, it will generate an example project. This is recommended for new users to understand the structure of a project.

Refer to configuration section for how to configure project.

You can run your project with ease by using run command:

tesuto run

# If your project is in different location.
tesuto run --project "configs/tesuto.yml"

Also, you can run specific job with run-job command:

tesuto run-job cargo

Configuration

Structure

Tesuto uses YAML syntax for projects. The structure for project is pretty simple:

name: TesutoProject
jobs:
  hello:
  - name: Print 'Hello world!'
    run: echo "Hello World!"
    quite: false

In the code block above you can see an example project. If you choose to not generate example project, you will see an empty one like this:

name: TesutoProject
require: []
jobs: {}

In the root of project there is 3 fields:

name - Used to identify project.
with - Additional options to run your project.
require - List of programs that required to run this project.
jobs - Actions that Tesuto need to do. We will skip name field because it's obvious what it is purpose.

`with` option

The with field serves as additional options for your project. It has 2 options:

...
with:
  shell:
    program: "zsh"
    args:
      - "-c"
      - "{}"
  cwd: "build"

shell - Allows you to specify the shell you want to run. Note that it is important to add curly braces to the args field as in the example above, because Tesuto will replace them with a command to run.
cwd - Changes the working directory for Tesuto.

Required Programs

In the require field you can specify which programs are required to run this project:

...
require:
  - git
  - cargo
...

It's a list of program that will be found through search in PATH. If one of this programs are not found, Tesuto will crash and tell you which program is not found.

Jobs and Steps

Jobs contain steps that Tesuto needs to perform to complete a job. Every job in a project will be executed step-by-step. The syntax of a job looks like this:

...
jobs:
  cargo:
  - name: Build release binary
    run: cargo build --release
    quite: false
...

Step has 3 properties:

name - The name of the step. If it's empty, it will be replaced with the command that the step should run.
run - The command to run. If this field is empty, Tesuto will display only the name of the step. If both name and run fields are empty, Tesuto will skip the step.
quite - Whether to display the output or not. You can create as many jobs and steps as needed. There are no limits for your workflow.
