🛠 tool-tool
tool-tool - a light-weight meta-tool to version and install tool dependencies for your software projects
WARNING: Work in progress - comments, contributions and feedback welcome
tool-tool is simple way to automatically manage a project's tool dependencies. You should never have to worry about:
- Which version of the compiler do I need to use in this branch?
- What JDK is necessary for this build?
- Where do I get the correct version of node/yarn/maven/etc...?
- Why do I get weird errors when compiling old branches with new tool versions?
How it works
- A configuration file (
.tool-tool.v1.yaml
) in the project repository root defines all the tool dependencies and where to download them. - Small bootstrap binaries (
tt
,tt.exe
) for all development platforms are also checked into your repository. - All tool calls are then made through this bootstrap program. It parses the configuration file, downloads and caches the tools and executes the given command
A sample yarn invocation:
tt yarn install
