Octommit

A simple nodejs utility to update yaml files in github.

Why

In our GitOps process, the docker tags in our infrastructure git repos need to be updated whenever there's a new container build. We created Ocommit as a way of automating this process.

This package exposes both an CLI interface, and a NodeJS connector.

CLI

Env

GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN is the only required env var. This is the personal access token for a github user/bot

Limitations

At the moment, this library only supports updating one file per commit.
