🌿 Eden

Developer onboarding preflight checks.

Eden is a Rust-powered CLI tool that verifies required dependencies and configurations are properly installed before development begins. Run one command to ensure your dev environment is ready.

Installation

cargo install eden-cli

Quick Start

1. Initialize a config file in your project root:

eden init

Or create an eden.toml manually:

[checks]
binaries = ["docker", "node", "bun"]
environment = ["DATABASE_URL"]

2. Run the preflight check:

eden check

Example output:

🌱 Binary: docker - v29.1.3 (/usr/bin/docker)
🌱 Binary: node - v25.2.1 (/usr/bin/node)
🌱 Binary: bun - v1.3.5(/usr/bin/bun)
🥀 Env: DATABASE_URL - not set

🌱 3 sprouted, 🥀 1 needs water

Configuration

Eden supports multiple config formats:

• TOML: eden.toml
• YAML: eden.yaml / eden.yml
• JSON: eden.json / eden.jsonc

Generate a starter config:

eden init
eden init --format yaml

If no --format is specified, Eden will default to TOML.

Config Options

[checks]
# binaries that must be in PATH
binaries = [
    "git",
    "docker",
    "node",
]

# environment variables that must be set
environment = [
    "DATABASE_URL",
    "API_KEY",
]

CLI Reference

eden check                 # run all checks (default)
eden check -c custom.toml  # use custom config file
eden init                  # create starter config
eden --help                # show help
eden --version             # show version

Use Cases

• New Developer Onboarding: Include in your README as the first setup step
• CI/CD Pipelines: Verify environments before running tests
• Pre-commit Hooks: Ensure environment consistency
• Documentation: Self-documenting project requirements

Roadmap

• Version constraints for binaries (node >= 18)
• Interactive fix mode (eden fix)
• Network connectivity checks
• Disk space checks
• Custom script validators
• Host JSON schema on the internet

Development

Version Syncing

Eden uses a dual-package setup (Rust crate + npm package) with automated version synchronization:

• Source of truth: package.json holds the canonical version, and is used for Changesets
• Sync script: scripts/syncVersion.ts propagates the version to Cargo.toml
• Changesets: Manages version bumps and changelog generation

The sync script runs automatically during the release process via the version npm script:

bun run version  # syncs `package.json` version → `Cargo.toml`

CI/CD

Two GitHub workflows handle versioning:

The sync workflow will fail if package.json and Cargo.toml versions diverge.

Release Process

1. Create a changeset: bun changeset
2. Push to master
3. Changesets action creates a "Version Packages" PR
4. Merge the PR to trigger a release with binaries for:
   • x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
   • aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
   • x86_64-apple-darwin
   • aarch64-apple-darwin
5. Manually publish to crates.io: cargo publish
