TriggerMesh CLI

tmctl is the TriggerMesh CLI (part of the Shaker project) to create, manage and debug event-driven integration apps. This CLI provides a simple user experience in your local environment and supports further deployment to a Kubernetes cluster.

For the full documentation of TriggerMesh and its tooling, please visit docs.triggermesh.io.

Requirements

The CLI runs TriggerMesh components locally as containers, therefore Docker engine must be running on the machine where tmctl is installed.

Installation

TriggerMesh CLI can be installed from different sources: brew repository, pre-built binary, or compiled from the source.

Brew

brew install triggermesh/cli/tmctl

Manual install

Download and install the latest version for your platform from the releases page. For example,

curl -LO https://github.com/triggermesh/tmctl/releases/latest/download/tmctl_macOS_amd64.tar.gz && \
tar -zxf tmctl_macOS_amd64.tar.gz && \
chmod +x tmctl && \
sudo mv tmctl /usr/local/bin/tmctl

Alternatively, if you're feeling brave, use the following one-liner to automatically download and install the CLI:

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/triggermesh/tmctl/HEAD/hack/install.sh | sh

Source

go compiler of the latest version is recommended to build tmctl binary from the source:

git clone git@github.com:triggermesh/tmctl.git
cd tmctl
go install

Autocompletion

After tmctl is installed and available in system's $PATH, command-line completion should be configured as it improves the CLI user experience. To configure command-line completion, please use the "help" command output for the shell of your choice, for example:

tmctl completion bash --help

or

tmctl completion zsh --help

NOTE: for the Bash shell, bash-completion of version 2 is recommended.

Usage

The CLI commands provide a way to manage TriggerMesh components locally and deploy them on a Kubernetes cluster without the need to write YAML files. All commands support --help argument to get the description and usage:
