running dagger pipeline locally after each commit to main

[valid geode]

Hi folks
Is there an example that shows how to run dagger locally after a commit is made to main (or any other ) branch ? i am not sure if running github actions locally is the proper way to acheive this ? i am open to all suggestions

hey @valid geode ! Dagger running locally after each commit is as simple as doing dagger run against your Dagger pipelines

are you looking for an automated way to trigger those pipelines locally after a commit is made?

[valid geode]

yes exactly. I am not sure how i would automate local builds after a commit on a branch. If someone has already done that would save me lots of time

this is not something that's specific to Dagger or any other CI tool. There are some tools out there you can use to set post-commit git hooks

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks . You're looking for the post-commit hook

Btw.: If you use python (or JS I think 🤔) you might also look into pre-commit. This tool uses git-hooks under the hood and can be configured like a pipeline via yaml. You can specify commit- and also push-trigger and run your custom dagger pipeline:

-   repo: local
    hooks:
    -   id: pytest-unittests
        name: unittests
        entry: pytest tests/unittests
        language: system
        types: [python]
        pass_filenames: false
        stages: [commit]
    -   id: dagger-pipeline
        name: pipeline-unittests
        entry: python pipeline/ci_main.py
        language: system
        stages: [push]

Of course, there a lot more things you can do with pre-commit.
