When you add a new app to Bitrise, we detect the type of your project and generate a basic bitrise.yml file for you, with workflows that are appropriate for your project type.
With the Bitrise CLI, you can make this work on your own computer. You will need:
- golang
- the bitrise-init plugin
- Ruby version 2.2.2 or higher
Once you are ready, open your Terminal/Command Line Interface and go to the folder of your project. Start the plugin:
$ bitrise init
The bitrise-init plugin will run all the available scanners to determine the type of the project. These scanners are:
- React Native
- React Native Expo
- Ionic
- Cordova
- iOS
- MacOS
- Android
- Xamarin
- fastlane
Depending on the project type, the tool asks for user input: for example, with an iOS project, it asks the user to specify an export method.
Select: ipa export method
Please select from the list:
[1] : app-store
[2] : ad-hoc
[3] : enterprise
[4] : development
(type in the option's number, then hit Enter) :
Based on the scanner outputs, the plugin generates a Bitrise configuration, with a bitrise.yml file. In the automatically generated workflows, every required input will have a valid value.
The plugin also generates a bitrise.secrets.yml file. You can store secret Environment Variables in this.
