ndev

ndev is an ultimate tool to manage development lifecycle.

• managing releases
• work in progress...

To install ndev run:

uv tool install ndev

To update ndev run:

uv tool upgrade ndev

You can use it to install and debug:

git clone https://github.com/numdes/ndev 
cd ndev
uv tool install --editable .

Release management

When you have a big repository with complicated structure, and you want to release it for customers with a specific structure, you can use ndev release command.

Loading

Basic use case is to transfer some sources codes to another repository:

    ndev release \
        --origin . \
        --destination git@example.com:libs/example1.git \
        --author_name "$GITLAB_USER_NAME" \
        --author_email "$GITLAB_USER_EMAIL"

Here --origin is a path to the sources you want to release, --destination is a path to the repository where you want to release the sources.

--author_name and --author_email are optional parameters that will be used to set author of the commit in the destination repository.

After running this command, ndev will:

1. Wipe out all the files in the destination repository
2. Copy all the files from the origin repository to the destination repository
3. Commit all the changes

All configuration is stored in pyproject.toml in tool.ndev section. Config sample:

[tool.ndev]
# relative path in origin repository to be a root of the release in destination repository
release-root = "releases/customer-root"

# generate and copy requirements.txt
copy-requirements = true

# manage pyproject.toml 
manage-pyproject = true

# generate poetry lock after all steps
generate-poetry-lock = true

# generate and copy version.json
add-version-json = true

# list of files to be copied from origin to destination
copy-local = [
    { from = "example1", to = "services/example1" },
]

# list of wheels to be copied from origin dependecies to destination
copy-wheel-src = [
    # wheels sources for external use
    { from = "example2", to = "wheels/example2" },
    # ignore some files while copying
    { from = "example2", to = "wheels/example2", ignores = ["*.txt", "README.md"] },
    # specify platform for the wheel. This is useful when you run `ndev release` 
    # on a different platform than the one you want to release for.
    { from = "example2", to = "wheels/example2", platform = "manylinux_2_36_x86_64" },
]

# list of repositories to be copied to destination
# if repo has ndev configuration, it will use it recursively
copy-repo-src = [
    { from = "git@example.com:collction/example3.git", to = "libs/example3/cpp-src", ref = "main" },
]

# below is an example of how to copy a repository with specific package name and platform
# it uses custom configuration for package name to follow specific tag
[[tool.ndev.copy-repo-src]]
from = "git@example.com:repo/example4.git"
to = "libs/example4/cpp-src"
ref = "$NAME$-$VERSION$"
package_name = "some_package_name"
platform = "manylinux_2_36_x86_64"

# patch files before release
[[tool.ndev.patches]]
