rit-devops

A quick-reference CLI for common Dockerfile and Jenkinsfile templates (Java, Maven, Python, Flask, React) with Docker Swarm / Kubernetes deploy stages.

Usage

npx rit-devops                 # show everything (dockerfiles + jenkinsfiles + swarm-config + minikube + your config notes)
npx rit-devops dockerfile       # show only the Dockerfile templates
npx rit-devops jenkins          # show only the Jenkinsfile templates
npx rit-devops swarm-config     # show the Docker Swarm cluster setup guide (VirtualBox + Vagrant)
npx rit-devops minikube         # show the Minikube + kubectl local Kubernetes setup guide
npx rit-devops config           # view saved config notes
npx rit-devops config "text"    # save a new config note
npx rit-devops config --clear   # clear all saved config notes
npx rit-devops --help           # show all commands
npx rit-devops -v               # show version

Config notes are stored locally per-user at ~/.rit-devops/config.json, so they persist across runs on the same machine.

Publishing this package to npm

You said you already have an npm account, so here's exactly what to do:

1. Install Node.js if you don't already have it (v14+): https://nodejs.org

2. Log in to npm from your terminal:

   npm login

   This will ask for your username, password, and email (and possibly a one-time 2FA code).

3. Move into the project folder (unzip the file I gave you first):

   cd rit-devops
   npm install

4. Test it locally before publishing (optional but recommended):

   node bin/cli.js --help
   node bin/cli.js dockerfile

   Or link it globally to test the real rit-devops command:

   npm link
   rit-devops --help

5. Publish:

   npm publish

   That's it — rit-devops was free on the registry when I checked, so this should succeed on the first try. If you get a 403/name-taken error, someone grabbed it in the meantime; just rename it in package.json (name field) and in the bin field, then publish again.

6. From then on, anyone (including you) can run it with:

   npx rit-devops

   npx automatically downloads and runs the latest published version — no separate install step needed.

Publishing updates later

Whenever you edit the templates or add features:

npm version patch   # bumps 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 (use "minor" or "major" for bigger changes)
npm publish
