Goals for the initial release

• Git first: 100% of your configuration files are stored in git, wherever you want
• Configuration files first: Human readable and editable config files, fully transparent
• Open source: Just like fastlane, fastlane.ci is open source and community driven
• Self hosted: You should be able to own your CI systems, and scale up as needed
• Adapters: Store your configuration and artifacts on services you already use, like GitHub or your own git server
• Native fastlane integration: Already use fastlane? fastlane.ci will work right out of the box for you
• Mobile first, mobile only: For now, we're focusing exclusively on building the best CI system for mobile app devs
• Built in the open: Together with all of you, MIT licensed
• Visual interface: Thanks to fastlane.ci you'll be able to benefit from fastlane without having to use the terminal
• Sensible defaults: If something can be automatically figured out by fastlane.ci, it should be
• Easy permissions: Instead of manually managing an extra layer of permission, fastlane.ci just uses GitHub
• Focus on the most established toolings: git, GitHub and Xcode

Long-term goals

• Support common projects like React Native out of the box with zero configuration
• Manage Xcode installations for the user (using xcode-install)
• Support for distributed building for setups that require faster builds (multiple Macs)

Notes

mobile refers to iOS in the beginning, and will be expanded to Android at a later stage of this project.
