hamster

offline gitlab runner

ALPHA

Tired of having to 'register' runners?

Just want a runner that doesn't run in a container, but tries to just, you know, run the stuff?

But I can't change my .gitlab-ci.yml

No worries, if there's a .gitlab-local.yml it will use that in preference and from there you can include your .gitlab-ci.yml. That way you can override global variables that aren't quite right.

What does hamster honor?

• hamster target_name will run that specific target.
• variables defined at job and global level will be honored.
• variable substitution works in the same mannor as go expand.
• .extends is now supported.
• yaml merge << and anchors work.

E.g. with this for your .gitlab-ci.yml:

goodbye:
  stage: primary_stage
  variables:
    GOODBYE: "tara"
  script:
    - echo $GOODBYE a bit

then hamster goodbye would output tara a bit.

What doesn't it do?

Does't honor:

• services
• image
• when
• hamster stage_name will not run all targets in a stage.[todo]

It won't checkout your code or do anything with git.

It won't start itself in a container (use the official gitlab runner for that)
