Code owners CLI

Code owners CLI is a CLI interface to simplify common operations on Code owners files using timoschinkel/codeowners.

Installation

Use Composer for installation:

composer require timoschinkel/codeowners-cli

If you don't want Code owners CLI to be part of your project to can opt to install it globally:

composer global require timoschinkel/codeowners-cli

Usage

When installed as dependency of your project:

./vendor/bin/codeowners [options] <command>

When installed globally:

codeowners [options] <command>

NB When installed globally you will need to install Composer itself globally add the global Composer binary folder to your PATH variable, eg by adding the following line to ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc:

export PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH

All commands have the options supplied by Symfony Console:

• -q, --quiet; Do no output any message
• -v|vv|vvv, --verbose; Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug

When no CODEOWNERS file is specified - using -c or --codeowners - the application will search the CODEOWNERS file in the following locations based on the working directory:

• <working_dir>/.github/CODEOWNERS
• <working_dir>/.bitbucket/CODEOWNERS
• <working_dir>/.gitlab/CODEOWNERS
• <working_dir>/CODEOWNERS
• <working_dir>/docs/CODEOWNERS

Calling the command with the verbose option will print what file is used when applicable.
