Run your CI locally.

• Run cargo install cheapskate-ci, or
• Clone the repository and run cargo install --path .

Create a cheapskate-ci.toml in the root of your project. See cheapskate-ci.toml for an example.

Example pre-commit hook (to make sure all commits are passing):

#!/bin/sh

cheapskate-ci run

There's no post-push hook, unfortunately, so after pushing you'll want to manually run:

cheapskate-ci run --status

Which will again run the steps, and then send a successful commit status to GitHub.

Note: the first time you run this, it will prompt you for a GitHub token. You'll need to generate one with the repo:status scope and paste it in. That token will be cached in ~/.local/share/cheapskate-ci/psst.toml going forward.

• check out a feature branch
• push up some code
• run cheapskate-ci run --status
• check out your default branch
• merge in that branch: git merge --ff-only -
• push to your default branch (this will be allowed as long as the CI run succeeded)

If you use a pull request flow, you can do the same thing, but just open and merge the PR instead of merging locally.
