The Code PushUp CLI serves to collect audit results, and optionally upload the report to the Code PushUp portal.

It can be used locally in your repository, or integrated in your CI environment.

If you're looking for programmatic usage, then refer to the underlying @code-pushup/core package instead.

Getting started

1. Install as a dev dependency with your package manager:

   Installation command for npm, yarn and pnpm

   npm install --save-dev @code-pushup/cli

   yarn add --dev @code-pushup/cli

   pnpm add --save-dev @code-pushup/cli

2. Create a code-pushup.config.ts configuration file (.js or .mjs extensions are also supported).

   import type { CoreConfig } from '@code-pushup/models';
   
   const config: CoreConfig = {
     plugins: [
       // ...
     ],
   };
   
   export default config;

3. Add plugins as per your project needs (e.g. @code-pushup/eslint-plugin or @code-pushup/coverage-plugin).

   npm install --save-dev @code-pushup/eslint-plugin

   import eslintPlugin from '@code-pushup/eslint-plugin';
   import type { CoreConfig } from '@code-pushup/models';
   
   const config: CoreConfig = {
     // ...
     plugins: [
       // ...
       await eslintPlugin({ eslintrc: '.eslintrc.js', patterns: ['src/**/*.js'] }),
     ],
   };
   
   export default config;

4. Run the CLI with npx code-pushup (see --help for list of commands and arguments).

5. View report file(s) in output directory (specified by persist.outputDir configuration).
   This folder should be ignored in your .gitignore.

Set up categories (optional)

1. Define your custom categories.

   const config: CoreConfig = {
     // ...
     categories: [
       {
         slug: 'performance',
         title: 'Performance',
         refs: [
           // reference to an existing audit or group from plugins
           {
             type: 'audit',
             plugin: 'eslint',
             slug: 'react-jsx-key',
             weight: 1,
           },
           // ...
         ],
       },
       // ...
     ],
   };

2. Run the CLI with npx code-pushup.

3. View report file(s) including category section in output directory.

Portal integration

If you have access to the Code PushUp portal, provide credentials in order to upload reports.

const config: CoreConfig = {
  // ...
  upload: {
    server: 'https://ip-or-domain/path/to/portal/api/graphql',
    apiKey: process.env.PORTAL_API_KEY,
    organization: 'my-org',
    project: 'my-project',
  },
};

🛠 CI automation

Example for GitHub Actions:

name: Code PushUp

on: push

jobs:
  collect-and-upload:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npx code-pushup autorun --upload.apiKey=${{ secrets.PORTAL_API_KEY }}

Configuration

For a comprehensive list of all options available in the config file, refer to CoreConfig docs.

The default locations for the config file are code-pushup.config.ts, code-pushup.config.mjs or code-pushup.config.js. Other locations require using the --config=<path> CLI option.

If your config file relies on some custom TypeScript project configuration - e.g. import aliases via compilerOptions.paths (common in Nx) - you can use the --tsconfig=<path> CLI option.

Custom Plugins

We provide comprehensive documentation on how to create a custom plugin.

The repository also maintains a set of plugin examples showcasing different scenarios.
Each example is fully tested to demonstrate best practices for plugin testing as well.

Example for custom plugins:

• 📏 File Size - example of basic runner executor
• 📦 Package Json - example of audits and groups
• 🔥 Lighthouse (official implementation here) - example of a basic command executor
