circleci-trigger

CircleCI 2.0 comes with a feature that allows you to set multiple jobs for your CI workflow, but sometimes you want to trigger a certain job manually. This is CLI application helps you do that.

Usage

1. Go to CircleCI project settings, go to API permissions and obtain an API token.

2. Run the following command:

   npx circleci-trigger \
     -p github/<user>/<repo> \
     -b <branch> \
     -t <api-token> \
     -j <CIRCLE_JOB>

After running the script, the build URL will be printed out.

Configuration (optional)

All configuration can be set via the command line parameter. But to avoid putting API tokens in the command line, you can create a file ~/.circleci-triggerrc.json with the API token:

{
  "circleciToken": "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
}
