cci (common-ci) is a tool that generates CI/CD configurations for popular platforms like Github Actions and Gitlab CI. Imagine Terraform, but for CI pipelines.

There are three main advantages to generating your CI workflows/pipelines:

• You can get started really quickly for projects in popular ecosystems.
• You're not locked into a single CI platform since you can easily generate pipelines for any platform.
• You don't have to write any Yaml because we have a TUI interface.

The downside is, of course, you don't get the full flexiblity of writing your own pipeline from scratch. You can use a CCI pipeline as a starting point and make your own customizations, but then you're not able to freely switch to another CI platform.

Supported CI platforms

• Github Actions
• Gitlab
• Circle CI
• Jenkins
• Gitea

common-ci.ron

We use a configuration file called common-ci.ron in the root of your repo as the single source of truth definiton for your CI pipeline. Using this file, cci can generate the proper CI configuration for any CI platform.

You can use our TUI interface to edit this file or any editor with LSP support. Configure your editor to use cci lsp as an LSP and you'll get inline documenation and autocomplete.

Here's an example of what a common-ci.ron file might look like:

(
  version: "1",
  presets: [
    Docker((
      registry: "hub.docker.com",
      image_name: "example",
      push_on_tags_only: true,
    )),
    Rust((
      enable_linter: true, // Clippy
    )),
  ]
)
