Setup¶

Currently there are two different ways to setup and use the GitOps CLI.

Docker¶

The official GitOps CLI Docker image comes with all dependencies pre-installed and ready-to-use. Pull it with:

docker pull baloise/gitopscli

Start the CLI and the print the help page with:

docker run --rm -it baloise/gitopscli --help

From Source With Virtualenv¶

Use this for developement and if you want to prevent dependency clashes with other programs in a user installation.

Clone the repository and install the GitOps CLI on your machine:

git clone https://github.com/baloise/gitopscli.git
cd gitopscli/
poetry install

You can now use it from the command line:

poetry run gitopscli --help

If you don't need the CLI anymore, you can uninstall it with

poetry env remove --all

Note: if your poetry is not up to date to handle the files you can use a locally updated version. Execute the following command in your cloned gitopscli directory to use an updated poetry without changing your system installation:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install poetry # installs it in the venv

From Source Into User Installation¶

Clone the repository and install the GitOps CLI on your machine:

git clone https://github.com/baloise/gitopscli.git
pip3 install gitopscli/

You can now use it from the command line:

gitopscli --help

If you don't need the CLI anymore, you can uninstall it with

pip3 uninstall gitopscli
