Command line interface

Generating files

In general, the only command that downstream repos will ever need to run is

bones-generate

from the root directory containing .nengobones.yml. This updates all of the templated files that need to be manually updated and committed to the downstream repository. Note that there are other files that bones-generate can generate, but this is done automatically (i.e., dynamically) by nengo-bones during continuous integration.

However, it may be helpful when debugging a .nengobones.yml configuration to be able to see the rendered output, so we expose all the nengo-bones functionality through different command line options, which can be found below.

bones-generate

Loads config file and sets up template environment.

By default, this updates all templated files that are to be committed to the repository.

We look in the current directory for a .templates folder. If it exists, any templates defined in that folder will be loaded first. Otherwise, built-in templates will be loaded from the nengo_bones/templates directory.

If you are overriding a template in the .templates folder, the original built-in version of that template can be accessed with the templates/ prefix. This is useful in include and extends tags. For example, to add text to the default LICENSE.rst template, put the following in .templates/LICENSE.rst.template:

{% include "templates/LICENSE.rst.template %}

Other development support scripts

This repository also contains scripts to automate various development tasks.

bones-pr-number

Get the next available PR number for a repository.

When writing a CHANGELOG entry, it helpful to predict the PR number for the branch before the PR has actually been made. This script counts the issues in the repository and returns the next available number.

This command will read –conf-file to determine the current repository. To check for another repository, pass it as an argument.
