codeboost is a CLI tool and library that enables developers to automate common repository tasks such as updating dependencies, fixing linting errors, modifying READMEs, or adding new workflows.

Run these tasks across a single repository or multiple repositories at once with a single command.

Quick Start

npm install -g codeboost

codeboost init

Usage

You must initialize codeboost before you can run any boosts. You only need to run this command once to initialize the global configuration file:

codeboost init

Run a boost:

<repository> <boost-name>

Run a boost on a batch of repositories:

<boost-name>

When running in batch mode, the --size option can be used to specify the number of repositories to process at once. The default is 1.
The --batch option can be used to specify a JSON file containing an array of objects that have a name property that resolves to “owner/repo-name”. The object can contain other attributes as well, but MUST contain the name property for batch mode to work correctly.

Example of a batch JSON file (repositories.json):

[
    {
        "name": "permafrost-dev/node-ray"
    },
    {
        "name": "permafrost-dev/vue-ray"
    },
    {
        "name": "permafrost-dev/alpinejs-ray"
    }
]

Boosts

Boosts are stored by default in ~/.codeboost/boosts, and examples can be found in the examples directory of the repository. Read the docs.

Configuration

To use the codeboost CLI, create a file named codeboost.config.js in your current working directory or run codeboost init to create a default global configuration file.

The default configuration file is stored in ~/.codeboost/codeboost.config.js. This file assumes that you have an environment variable named CODEBOOST_GITHUB_TOKEN that contains a valid GitHub personal access token with the repo scope. You may edit this file to use a different token or to change the default storage paths.

The configuration file should export a default configuration object with the following properties:

export interface AppSettings {
    github_token: string;
    repository_storage_path: string;
    boosts_path: string;
    // create fork of each repository
    use_forks: boolean;
    // create pull request for each repository
    use_pull_requests: boolean;
    log_target: 'console' | 'file';
}

Example configuration file:

module.exports.default = {
    github_token: '$CODEBOOST_GITHUB_TOKEN',
    repository_storage_path: `${__dirname}/repositories`,
    boosts_path: `${__dirname}/boosts`,
    use_forks: true,
    use_pull_requests: true,
    log_target: 'console',
};

Note that the github_token property can be set to a string value or an environment variable name prefixed with a ‘$’.
If the value is an environment variable name, the value of the environment variable will be used.

If you are working on repositories that you have push access to and don’t want to create forks or pull requests, you can set the use_forks and use_pull_requests properties to false. This will cause codeboost to commit directly to the main branch of the repository.

If you disable use_forks but not use_pull_requests, a separate branch will be created on the repository and a pull request will be created for that branch. Enabling use_forks automatically enables use_pull_requests.

Development Setup

npm install

npm run dev

Testing

codeboost uses Jest for unit tests. To run the test suite:

npm run test
