Manuel.JS

It's not manual, it's Manuel.

Manuel makes it easy to script up modifications to yaml or json files on Github, such as during a CI pipeline.

Installation

via npm

$ npm install -g manuel-js

Usage

export GH_TOKEN="<github personal access token with appropriate permissions>"
manuel \
  --org dan-turner \
  --repo manuel-js \
  --branch test \
  --file test/variables.yaml \
  --author Manuel \
  --email [e-mail] \
  --message "Update 'example-app'" \
  --path example-app.image \
  --value a98049c7251b6b12785da9666e10e14cd1cfcddc

Supported Formats

Manuel supports both yaml and json, it will guess the format based on the extension of the --file argument or you can specify explicitly with the --format argument.

Configuration

Options can be specified as arguments (as above), or in config files, or a combination of both. Values are merged in the following order precedence, from lowest to highest:

• <home directory>/.manuel.yml (good place to specify githubToken)
• <current dir>/.manuel.yml
• With the config argument --config <path to a .yml>
• As individual arguments as in the usage example

See .travis.yml for an example of leveraging a mix of config files and CLI arguments.
