Clone this repo. Make sure to install all dependencies.

Build it with Wails. This will conveniently compile the project based on your OS and architecture.

owlly

Owlly will check if below files exist in your project root and sync if exist.

	envList  = []string{
		".env",
		".env.test",
		".env.development",
		".env.production",
		".env.dev",
		".env.stage",
		".env.prod",
		".env.local",
		".env.development.local",
		".env.test.local",
		".env.production.local",
	}

Owlly ver 0.3.1 is event-based. When form value is submitted in react client side, the value is tossed to go backend by wails. Owlly takes the value and uses for its configuration under the hood.

In order to use Owlly, you have to

1. Create a slack bot here
2. Install the bot to your slack workspace
3. Issue bot user oauth token and get channel ID to use the bot.

Make sure your bot has proper configuration/privileges to for sending DM. Refer below to set up a permission scope.

1. Run Owlly

./owlly-for-windows.exe
./owlly-for-mac
./owlly-for-mac-m1

2. Update .env files as you wish.

FOO="bar"

3. Once done, set owlly trigger in your .env. This variable will be a key for Owlly to know if your update is done. So your .env will look like,

AUTHOR="developerasun"
FOO="bar"

# length of OWLLY_DONE > 0 ? send a DM : do nothing
# OWLLY_DONE="true" // add this line when update is done

4. Click send button. Check your slack channel if the message is sent. Result will look like below.

In Owlly, a several groups of automation is configured.

• auto pull request reviewer
• auto pull request label by branch name
• auto format and lint for go codes
• auto release by push
• auto dependency tracking
• auto staled issue checking

If you add some workflows to owlly, I would suggest to develop it with act to check the workflows locally first and then open a pull request.

Note that the act is based on Docker, meaning you have to run Docker daemon first.

# Run act dry-run
act -n push
act -n pull_request

Owlly is a open sourc project. Feel free to open a pull request and suggest changes / improvement.
