This orb helps make common operations in various CircleCI workflows easier. (#monorepo) Some of the smalleruseful commands are "fail if dirty", "run if modified", "run on branch". There are a few morecomplicated commands such as "wait for workflow" and "wait for job" which have niche usecases.

Official Orb page:https://circleci.com/orbs/registry/orb/roopakv/swissknife

Add swissknife to your Circle yml as follows

orbs:  swissknife: roopakv/swissknife@0.12.0

Once you have defined the Orb you can use the following commands

This can be used to fail a job if a number of steps result in git being dirty. Some examplesof where this can be useful

• Someone adds to package.json without using npm or yarn
• You usego generate and someone made changes to a file but forgot to rungo generate

Lookhere for theparameters this job accepts

Run steps only certain files are modified. For example, run js tests only if js files are modified.

Note: This command ends the job if files are not modified.

Readhere for usage.

Circle doesnt allow you to run Job A after job B irrespective of job A's exit status. This command works around that.

Wrap a set of steps with this command and pass in the job it should run after and be rest assured that it will run thejobs one by one.

Here for usage info.

This lets you build a fake queue for a given branch and blocks workflows from actually running till previous workflows onthis branch have been completed.

Note: By blocking workflows we mean that the job simply sleeps till it is its turn to run. i.e. you will be using circle creditsto sleep this long (maybe use small containers?)

Lookhere for usage.

This lets you create a Github release to a specified repository using custom tags. This can be useful if you want to generatereleases on each master commit for instance.

Lookhere for usage.

Please open an issue for the functionality you wish to add. Lets make sure it will work / there is nothing else like it.

When adding a new command, either add a circle test that we can use during build OR add a script that we can run to test things.
