ci-tricks

ci-tricks is a single-binary that can be run on multiple continuous integration providers to setup the environment in an efficient way.

WARNING: This approach is hacky, dirty and ugly. It is meant to provide some last resort hacks for projects that run on multiple CI providers and platforms.

Supported platforms

• Appveyor/Windows/amd64
• Travis/Linux/amd64 (sudo-enabled)
• Travis/macOS/amd64

Usage

1. Set the environment variables as required by each trick.
2. Run ci-tricks.

On Travis CI you can run latest ci-tricks version with:

install:
  - wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/smola/ci-tricks/master/get.sh | bash

On Appveyor you can use:

install:
  - ps: iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/smola/ci-tricks/master/get.ps1'))

Contributing

Issues and pull requests are welcome.

Platforms: We are not accepting issues or pull requests related to running ci-tricks outside a continuous integration provider.
