hamster

offline gitlab runner

ALPHA

Tired of having to 'register' runners?

Just want a runner that doesn't run in a container, but tries to just, you know, run the stuff?

What does hamster honor?

• hamster target_name will run that specific target.
• variables defined at job and global level will be honored.
• variable substitution works in the same mannor as go expand.
• .extends is now supported.
• yaml merge << and anchors work.

E.g. with this for your .gitlab-ci.yml: goodbye: stage: primary_stage variables: GOODBYE: "tara" script: - echo $GOODBYE a bit then hamster goodbye would output tara a bit.

What doesn't it do?

Does't honor:

• services
• image
• when
  • hamster stage_name will not run all targets in a stage.[todo]

It won't checkout your code or do anything with git.

It won't start itself in a container (use the official gitlab runner for that)
