BBEnv

Nerd-snipped attempt at helping running Buddybuild custom build steps locally.

Context

Buddybuild is a smart service that does a lot for you. That said, there are some situation where you want to customize the build process. Using custom build steps, you can execute shell scripts after cloning, before and after the build... Here is an example from our blog post about this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Adding the buddybuild branch to a PList
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add APP_BRANCH String $BUDDYBUILD_BRANCH" "Info.plist"

If you want to try this script locally before pushing it, you will need to define the BUDDYBUILD_BRANCH environment variable. This is tedious and there are quite a lot of environment variable you may need. I made this tool to let you run your custom builds steps in a close-to-production environment by exposing relevant environmment variables.
