Examples

Basic

The most minimal implementation. Call is same as how you would call tackle from command line.

example->: tackle path/to/dir/or/github

With context

Sometimes you want to ship a specific context in when calling the other tackle.

example:
  ->: tackle path/to/dir/or/github
  extra_context:
    stuff: things

Remote providers

Providers are often remote so additional parameters are relevant in this setting.

example:
  ->: tackle
  input_string: robcxyz/tackle-provider
  checkout: dev  # Branch / version to checkout
  context_file: path/to/file.yaml  # Path to a file within a remote provider
