hut - A CLI tool for sr.ht

hut [commands...] [options...]

hut is a CLI companion utility to interact with sr.ht.

Resources (such as build jobs, todo tickets, lists patchsets, git repositories, and so on) can be specified in multiple forms: name, owner and name, or full URL. For instance, the repository hut owned by ~emersion on git.sr.ht can be referred to via:

Additionally, mailing lists can be referred to by their email address.

hut commands that read input, like hut graphql or hut builds user-webhook create read input depending on whether their stdin is on a terminal or not:

•
If stdin is not on a terminal, for example, because stdin is redirected from a file or from a pipe, hut reads input from stdin.
•
Otherwise, if option --stdin is specified to the command, hut reads input from stdin.
•
Otherwise, hut assumes to run in a terminal and starts the command provided by environment variable $EDITOR to read input.

Generate a new OAuth2 access token on meta.sr.ht.

On startup hut will look for a file at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hut/config. If unset, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config/.

instance "sr.ht" {
	access-token "<token>"
	# As an alternative you can specify a command whose first line of output
	# will be parsed as the token
	access-token-cmd pass token
	meta {
		# You can set the origin for each service. As fallback hut will
		# construct the origin from the instance name and the service.
		origin "https://meta.sr.ht"
	}
}

The project configuration file is a top-level file called .hut.scfg in a repository, where the assosciated tracker and development mailing list can be specified. These resources will be used whenever a command is called which needs a tracker/mailing list and none is explicitly set. Furthermore it is possible to configure that patches should contain the repository name in their prefix. The hut git clone command will configure a freshly cloned repository to make contributing easier.

tracker https://todo.sr.ht/~xenrox/hut
development-mailing-list ~xenrox/hut-dev@lists.sr.ht
patch-prefix false
