🛠️ LaxCI — Local CI Runner (like GitHub Actions, but offline)

LaxCI is a blazing-fast, minimal CI runner written in Rust that executes workflows defined in a laxci.yml file — just like GitHub Actions, but entirely local.

Use it to test, build, lint, and automate development workflows without relying on any remote CI.

🚀 Features

• 🧱 Define jobs and steps in a YAML file (laxci.yml)
• 🌍 Supports env at workflow, job, and step level
• 📁 working-directory per job or step
• ✅ Pretty CLI output with emoji and colored logs
• ❌ Validates missing directories and fails gracefully

📦 Installation

cargo install laxci

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/07calc/laxci.git
cd laxci
cargo build --release
cargo install --path .

📝 Example laxci.yml

name: Build & Deploy

env:
  GLOBAL_VAR: "Hello from Workflow"

jobs:
  build:
    env:
      BUILD_ENV: "debug"
    steps:
      - name: Build app
        run: 'echo "Building in $BUILD_ENV mode"'

  test:
    needs: [build]
    steps:
      - name: Run tests
        run: 'echo "Testing with $GLOBAL_VAR"'

  deploy:
    needs: [test]
    working_directory: ./scripts
    steps:
      - name: Deploy
        run: 'echo "Deploying from $(pwd)"'

✅ Output

🔧 Roadmap

• env support at workflow, job, and step level
• working-directory support
• built-in commands like laxci init
• needs support for job dependencies
• if: conditionals for steps
• timeouts for steps
• parallel job execution
