## Prerequisites

- `jq`
- `kubectl`
- `kind`

Also recommended:

- `tkn`
- `yamllint`

## Setting Up

- Populate variables in `.env`
- Run `make secrets` and verify generated secret values in `./misc/secrets.yaml`
- Run `make` to deploy core components (KinD cluster, Pipelines, Tasks, Triggers, Event listener Ingress)
    - Event listener Ingress is available at `localhost/`. You can test sample pipeline with:
    
```shell
~ $ curl -H 'X-GitHub-Event: push' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
      "repository": {"ssh_url": "git@github.com:kelseyhightower/nocode.git"},
      "head_commit": {"id": "6c073b08f7987018cbb2cb9a5747c84913b3608e", "message": "add style guide"},
      "ref": "refs/heads/master"
    }' \
    localhost
