codeclimate is a command line interface for the Code Climate analysis platform. It allows you to run Code Climate engines on your local machine inside of Docker containers.

The Code Climate CLI is distributed and run as a Docker image. The engines that perform the actual analyses are also Docker images. To support this, you must have Docker installed and running locally. We also require that the Docker daemon supports connections on the default Unix socket /var/run/docker.sock.

On OS X, we recommend using boot2docker.

docker pull codeclimate/codeclimate

docker run \
  --interactive --tty --rm \
  --env CODE_PATH="$PWD" \
  --volume "$PWD":/code \
  --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  --volume /tmp/cc:/tmp/cc \
  codeclimate/codeclimate help

The above is very transparent. It's clear what's happening, and any changes required to work with your specific Docker setup can be discovered easily. That said, it can be unwieldy to invoke such a command on a regular basis.

For this reason, we also provide packages that include a small wrapper script for the above invocation:

brew tap codeclimate/formulae
brew install codeclimate

curl -L https://github.com/codeclimate/codeclimate/archive/v0.0.6.tar.gz | tar xvz
cd codeclimate-* && sudo make install

A list of available commands is accessible by running codeclimate or codeclimate help.

$ codeclimate help

Available commands:
    analyze [-f format]
    engines:disable engine_name
    engines:enable engine_name
    engines:install
    engines:list
    engines:remove
    help
    init
    validate-config
    version

The following is a brief explanation of each available command.

• analyze: Analyze all relevant files in the current working directory. All engines that are enabled in your .codeclimate.yml file will run, one after another. The -f (or format) argument allows you to set the output format of the analysis (using json or text).
• engines:disable engine_name: Changes the engine's enabled: node to be false in your .codeclimate.yml file. This engine will not be run the next time your project is analyzed.
• engines:enable engine_name: Installs the specified engine (engine_name). Also changes the engine's enabled: node to be true in your .codeclimate.yml file. This engine will be run the next time your project is analyzed.
• engines:install: Compares the list of engines in your .codeclimate.yml file to those that are currently installed, then installs any missing engines.
• engines:list: Lists all available engines in the Code Climate Docker Hub.
• engines:remove engine_name: Removes an engine from your .codeclimate.yml file.
• help: Displays a list of commands that can be passed to the Code Climate CLI.
• init: Generates a new .codeclimate.yml file in the current working directory.
• validate-config: Validates the .codeclimate.yml file in the current working directory.
• version: Displays the current version of the Code Climate CLI.
