Cheat Sheets

Install fly, the Concourse-CI client

brew install fly

Authenticate the client to Concourse

-t is for target -- an alias to the set of credentials in ~/.flyrc that will authenticate you to the Concourse instance you want to work with (or "target"). ~/.flyrc can store multiple sets of creds.

Since you have to specify target with every fly command, set up an alias...

alias f="fly -t bg-hw-deploy-refimpl"

Authentication is stored in ~/.flyrc.

f login --team-name devops-apprentices --concourse-url https://concourse.drw
f sync   # Update fly CLI version to match Concourse server.

Creating and activating a pipeline in Concourse

cd concourse
f set-pipeline -c pipeline.yml -p bg-hw-deploy-refimpl
f unpause-pipeline -p bg-hw-deploy-refimpl
