jx-updatebot is a small command line tool for generating downstream Pull Requests
Download the jx-updatebot binary for your operating system and add it to your $PATH.
Or you can use jx updatebot directly in the Jenkins X 3.x CLI
The jx updatebot pr command looks in for the .jx/updatebot.yaml file to find the repositories to modify along with the list of change rules to make.
You can see the configuration documentation here for how to format your .jx/updatebot.yaml file.
Here are some example updatebot configurations:
- jenkins-x/go-scm which is a go library uses this .jx/updatebot.yaml to create a downstream pull request on jenkins-xlighthouse whenever its released.
- jenkins-xlighthouse releases a chart which then uses this .jx/updatebot.yaml to create a downstream pull request on the Jenkins X Version Stream
- jenkins-x/jx is the Jenkins X command line which releases binaries and charts and uses this .jx/updatebot.yaml to create a downstream pull request on the Jenkins X Version Stream
You can see an example of invoking the Updatebot step inside a Tekton pipeline. This reuses the Jenkins X Pipeline as Code GitOps approach
e.g. check out the final step in this Task:
steps:
- image: uses:jenkins-x/jx3-pipeline-catalog/tasks/git-clone/git-clone.yaml@versionStream
- name: next-version
- name: jx-variables
- name: build-make-build
- name: promote-changelog
- image: uses:jenkins-x/jx3-pipeline-catalog/tasks/updatebot/release.yaml@versionStream
If you are not using Jenkins X but are using Tekton you could copy/paste this Task step
