spaces --helpUsage: spaces [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>
Commands:
checkout
Executes the checkout rules in the specified scripts or workflow files.
checkout-repo
Uses git to clone a repository in a new workspace and evaluates the top level [*]spaces.star files.
This can be used if the repository defines all of its own dependencies.
co
The shortform version of `checkout` and `checkout-repo`. The details of the command are
loaded from `co.spaces.toml` in the current directory.
```toml
[spaces-dev.Repo]
url = "https://github.com/work-spaces/spaces"
rule-name = "spaces" # optionally checkout in a different directory - default is from URL
rev = "main" # branch/tag/commit to checkout
new-branch = ["spaces"] # optionally create a new branch for a git repository
clone = "Default" # optionally clone type Default/Blobless
env = ["SET_VALUE=VALUE", "ANOTHER_VALUE=ANOTHER_VALUE"] # optionally add environment variables
create-lock-file = false # optionally create a lock file
[ninja-build.Workflow]
# Loads the ninja-build-dev flow from workflows/workflows.spaces.toml
workflow = "workflows:ninja-build-dev" # Workflow to checkout or use script
script = ["workflows/preload", "workflows/ninja-build"] # Use in place of or addition to workflow
env = ["SET_VALUE=VALUE", "ANOTHER_VALUE=ANOTHER_VALUE"] # optionally add environment variables
new-branch = ["spaces"] # optionally create a new branch for a git repository
create-lock-file = false # optionally create a lock file
```
sync Runs checkout rules within an existing workspace (experimental)
run Runs a spaces run rule.
- `spaces run`: Run all non-optional rules with dependencies
- `spaces run my-target`: Run a single target plus dependencies
- `spaces run my-target -- --some-arg --some-other-arg`: pass additional arguments to a rule
inspect Inspect all the scripts in the workspace without running any rules.
- `spaces inspect`: show the rules that have `help` entries:
- `spaces inspect <target-name>`: show target plus dependencies
- `spaces --verbosity=message inspect`: show all rules
- `spaces --verbosity=debug inspect`: show all rules in detail
completions Generates shell completions for the spaces command (experimental)
docs Shows the documentation for spaces starlark modules
foreach Runs a command in each repo or branch in the workspace
shell Runs an interactive shell using the workspace environment (experimental)
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Options:
-v, --verbosity <VERBOSITY> [default: app] [possible values: trace, debug, message, info, app, passthrough, warning, error]
--hide-progress-bars Dont show progress bars
--show-elapsed-time Show elapsed time - use with --verbosity=debug to instrument spaces performance
--ci If this is passed, info.is_ci() returns true in scripts
--rescan Rescan the workspace for *spaces.star files
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print versionCheckout Help
spaces checkout --helpExecutes the checkout rules in the specified scripts or workflow files.
Usage: spaces checkout [OPTIONS] --name <NAME>
Options:
--name <NAME> The name of the workspace to create
--env <ENV> Environment variables to add to the checked out workspace.
Use `--env=VAR=VALUE`. Makes workspace not reproducible.
--new-branch <NEW_BRANCH> Use --new-branch=<rule> to have spaces create a new branch for the rule.
Branch name will match the workspace name.
--script <SCRIPT> The path(s) to the `spaces.star` file containing checkout rules. Paths are processed in order
--workflow <WORKFLOW> Scripts to process in the format of `--workflow=<directory>:<script>,<script>,...`.
`--script` is processed before `--workflow`.
If <directory> has `workflows.spaces.toml`, it will be parsed for shortcuts if only one <script> is passed.
- `spaces checkout --workflow=workflows:my-shortcut --name=workspace-name`
- run scripts listed in `my-shortcut` in `workflows/workflows.spaces.toml`
- `spaces checkout --workflow=workflows:preload,my-shortcut --name=workspace-name`
- run `workflows/preload.spaces.star` then `workflows/my-shortcut.spaces.star`
```toml
my-shortcut = ["preload", "my-shortcut"]
```
--wf <WF> Shortcut for --workflow
--create-lock-file Create a lock file for the workspace.
This file can be passed on the next checkout as a script to re-create the exact workspace.
--force-install-tools Force install the tools spaces needs to run
--keep-workspace-on-failure Do not delete the workspace directory if checkout fails
