bkl - Run Buildkite Pipelines locally

Run buildkite pipelines locally (no buildkite.com required).

Installing

Either download a release binary or if you have golang:

go install github.com/lox/bkl@latest

Running

$ bkl

>>> Starting local agent 🤖
>>> Starting build 👟
>>> Executing initial command: buildkite-agent pipeline upload "/Users/lachlan/Projects/lox/bkl/examples/hello-world.pipeline.yml"
>>> Executing command step

~~~ Preparing plugins
$ cd /Users/lachlan/Projects/lox/bkl

~~~ Running commands
$ trap 'kill -- $$' INT TERM QUIT; echo hello world!
hello world!

>>> Command succeeded in 3.047168424s
>>> Build finished in 3.051489877s

What is working

• Pipeline uploads (converting a pipeline.yml into steps)
• Artifact upload, download, exists
• Metadata set, get, exists
• Basic plugin support

What isn't working

• Input steps
• If conditionals
• Vendored plugins
• Basically anything Buildkite has done since 2019.

P.S. @toolmantim, you were right. This always should have been a standalone tool. Soz.
