Bitrise CLI

Bitrise CLI is the workflow runner that powers Bitrise builds. It's the component that runs inside build machines and execute steps defined in bitrise.yml.

It's also useful as a standalone dev tool in your local environment. You can:

  • quickly validate your bitrise.yml changes before pushing a commit (bitrise validate)
  • run CI workflows locally (bitrise run workflow_name)
  • run the workflow editor in localhost and edit your configs and pipelines visually (bitrise :workflow-editor)
  • perform various other tasks (for a full list run bitrise help)

Install

Packaging status

There are multiple options to install Bitrise CLI:

  • Homebrew: brew install bitrise
  • Nix: packaged as bitrise, run nix-shell -p bitrise or your preferred configuration method.
  • Download a pre-built binary from the releases page
  • There might be other community-maintained packages

You can enable shell completion for the bitrise run command: https://blog.bitrise.io/workflow-id-completion

Building from source

First, set up the right Go version indicated by the go.mod file.

go install .

Documentation

CLI documentation is part of the main Bitrise docs. Relevant sections:

Tutorials and Examples

You can find examples in the _examples folder.

If you're getting started you should start with _examples/tutorials, this should guide you through the basics, while you'll already use bitrise (requires installed bitrise).

You can find a complete iOS sample project at: https://github.com/bitrise-io/sample-apps-ios-with-bitrise-yml

Tooling support & JSON output format

bitrise CLI commands support a --format=[format] parameter. This is intended mainly for tooling support, by adding --format=json you'll get a JSON formatted output on Standard Output.

Every error, warning etc. message will go to StdErr; and on the StdOut you should only get the valid JSON output.

An example calling the version command:

$ bitrise version --format=json

Will print {"version":"1.2.4"} to the Standard Output (StdOut).

Share your Step

You can use your own Step as you can see in the _examples, even if it's not yet committed into a repository, or from a repository directly.

If you would like to share your awesome Step with others you can do so by calling stepman share and then following the guide it prints.
