Manifest Order

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 07:21:01 +0200

Description

By default, Updatecli treats each manifest as an independent pipeline and do not guarantee ordering. When you run multiple manifests from the same directory, Updatecli can now order them explicitly before execution.

Action

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 15:21:01 +0200

Description

An Updatecli action defines what happens after a change is detected and validated. While Updatecli’s sources find changes (like a new version), and targets define where to apply them (like a file), actions describe what to do next—such as creating a pull request.

Compose

Sun, 01 Oct 2023 12:21:01 +0200

Description

The updatecli compose feature allows specifying a list of updatecli policies to enforce. This is useful when applying the same policies on multiple repositories.

Updatecli Policy

Sun, 01 Oct 2023 12:21:01 +0200

Description

As the number of updatecli policies increases, more and more, we realize that we need the ability to scale updatecli. Somewhere between what we have now, duplicated manifest(s) for each Git repository, and the Autodiscovery feature.

Autodiscovery

Sun, 09 Jan 2022 15:21:01 +0200

Description

In the lifecycle of a software project, dependencies are everywhere. From that third application used to lint our code, the tool used to build our documentation website, or the container image used to distribute our application. As the project grows, the number of dependencies grows as long. Some dependencies are context-dependent, and others are expressed using a standard data structure.

Condition

Sat, 09 Jan 2021 15:21:01 +0200

Description

A "condition" stage defines whether to run the "Target" stage stage of a pipeline. It runs a check (depending on the resource kind) that returns a boolean indicating its success (true) or failure (true).

Source

Sat, 09 Jan 2021 15:21:01 +0200

Description

The "source" stage retrieves information from a third "resource" like a file, or an API and then uses that information in later stages.

Target

Sat, 09 Jan 2021 15:21:01 +0200

Description

The "target" stage is updated if the necessary "resource", like a file based on information retrieved from a source. This happens provided all condition checks succeed.

Transformer

Sat, 09 Jan 2021 15:21:01 +0200

Description

The "transformers" parameter can be used by any stage definition as a "source", "condition", or "target". A "transformers" object contains a list of transformers. Each kind of transformer rules applies a string manipulation like adding or removing characters.

Configuration

Tue, 13 Oct 2020 15:21:01 +0200

Updatecli requires a configuration file, or "manifest", which describes the update pipeline. A manifest describes the "what", the "when", and the "where" of the update pipeline.
