The old bash script configured itself through `GITTALLY_*` environment variables. The blanket rename rewrote those literals, so the converter was looking for `WERKATOR_*` — a spelling no host has ever written. Fed a real legacy file it would have found nothing and written an almost empty configuration, without an error, which is the same silent failure this rename is otherwise careful to avoid. The conversion has served its purpose with the vm2176 to vm4006 migration, so it goes instead of being repaired. What remains is the setup of a new instance: the preconditions, the credential prompt, and the machine configuration written mode 600 — now carrying the host's public URL as well, since that is host-specific too. Everything the repository builds comes from `init` and its templates. It also stops emitting a legacy `branches:` section, which step 18 is about to reject outright. `docs/plan/00-legacy-analysis.md` and `13-nginx-tls.md` get the real `GITTALLY_*` spelling back: they record what the old script read.

Werkator
Lightweight, declarative and highly opinionated software build system (CI/CD).
Documentation
- docs/configuration.md — configuration reference
- docs/bootstrapping.md — initializing a repository with
init - docs/deployment.md — running Werkator as a systemd service behind a reverse proxy
Legacy Script
legacy/werkator (bash) is deprecated and kept only as a behavioral reference for the rewrite.
Do not use it for new installations.
Developer Setup
Source .envrc to add tools/ to your PATH, or install direnv to have this done automatically on cd:
source .envrc
Common tasks:
./gradlew build # compile and run all checks
./gradlew test # run tests
./gradlew ktlintFormat # auto-format Kotlin sources
./gradlew ktlintCheck # check formatting (also runs as part of build)
adr-status # show all architecture decisions at a glance
direnv
direnv sources .envrc automatically whenever you enter the repository and unloads it when you leave.
# Ubuntu
sudo apt install direnv
# add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
eval "$(direnv hook bash)" # or: eval "$(direnv hook zsh)"
Trust the project's .envrc once per clone:
direnv allow
