Pulsar: Pulcy Development Environment

Requirements

Docker
Git
Go
Node.js (optional)
Npm (optional)

Environment setup

Clone the Pulcy development environment tools:

git clone git@github.com/pulcy/pulsar.git
make

Usage

Clearing cached data

Pulsar keeps a cache to speed up various data fetching requests. You can clear this cache using the following command.

pulsar clear cache

Clone a repository

Use the following command to clone a (git) repository into a given folder, optionally checking out a specific version. The command will warn about the existance of newer versions and is very fast because it caches repositories, and makes use of git to fetch only missing deltas.

pulsar get [-b <version>] <repository-url> <folder>

Build a release

Use the following command to build a release for the current project.

pulsar release major|minor|patch|dev

The command will:

Increase the projects version in VERSION.
Build the entire project.
Build a docker image if a Dockerfile exists.
Push the docker image.
Tag the version in git & push that tag.
Patch the version in VERSION to contain +git.

The release process can be configured with project settings in a .pulcy file.

Fast `go get`

Use the following command to perform a typical go get command, but a lot faster due to aggressive caching. The result is fetched into $GOPATH/src.

pulsar go get <repository-url>

Create local GOPATH for any go repository

Use the following command to create a local GOPATH structure for any local repository. It creates a local .gobuild/src/github.com/yourname/yourrepo folder structure where the deepest folder links back (via aa softlink) to the repository itself. It then prints out the proper value for the GOPATH environment variable.

pulsar go path [-p alternative-package-name]

Typical use:

export GOPATH=$(pulsar go path)

Vendor go libraries

Use the following command to copy (vendor) one or more go libraries into a vendor folder. If the --flatten argument is set, the resulting vendor directory will be flattened afterwards.

pulsar go vendor [-V <vendor-folder>] [--flatten] <repository>...

Flattening go vendor folders

When vendoring go libraries, the vendored libraries themselves can also hold vendored libraries. The following command is used to copy a vendor folder to a new (temporary) directory and move all vendored libraries at the lowest level of that folder, or to move all vendored libraries to the lowest level of a target folder, without copying to another folder.

pulsar go flatten [-V <vendor-folder>] [<folder>]
