run

Runs all pipeline steps defined in .greengate.toml in order. A failing step stops the pipeline immediately with a non-zero exit code.

Usage

greengate run

Configuration

Define your pipeline steps in .greengate.toml:

[pipeline]
steps = [
  "scan",
  "audit",
  "coverage --min 80",
  "lint --dir ./k8s",
  "docker-lint",
  "lighthouse",
  "reassure",
]

Each step is a string that maps to an greengate subcommand, optionally followed by flags. All config values from .greengate.toml are applied automatically — CLI overrides in the step string take precedence.

Available steps

Step	Equivalent command
scan	greengate scan
lint	greengate lint
docker-lint	greengate docker-lint
coverage	greengate coverage
audit	greengate audit
lighthouse	greengate lighthouse
reassure	greengate reassure

Step flags

You can pass flags inline in the step string:

[pipeline]
steps = [
  "scan --staged",
  "coverage --min 90",
  "lint --dir ./manifests",
  "lighthouse --url https://staging.myapp.com --min-performance 85",
]

Example output

ℹ️  Running pipeline: 4 step(s)

─── Step 2/4: audit ─────────────────────────────────────
ℹ️  Auditing dependencies for known CVEs...
✅ No known vulnerabilities found.
✅ Step 'audit' passed.

─── Step 3/4: coverage --min 80 ─────────────────────────

CI usage

- name: Install greengate
  run: |
    curl -sL https://github.com/ThinkGrid-Labs/greengate/releases/latest/download/greengate-linux-amd64 \

Exit codes

Code	Meaning
0	All steps passed
1	One or more steps failed

Notes

• Steps run sequentially; the first failure stops the pipeline
• If no [pipeline] section is defined in .greengate.toml, the command exits with an error message instructing you to add one
• Use greengate init to generate a starter config with a default pipeline
