Quickstart

Create a pipeline

pipe init hello

This creates ~/.pipe/files/hello.yaml with a starter template.

Edit the pipeline

Open the file and replace the contents:

name: hello
description: "My first pipeline"
steps:
  - id: greet
    run: "echo Hello from Pipe!"
  - id: date
    run: "date"

Run it

pipe hello

Pipe runs each step in order, streaming output to your terminal.

Pass variables from the CLI

Add a vars section:

name: hello
description: "My first pipeline"
vars:
  name: "world"
steps:
  - id: greet
    run: "echo Hello, $PIPE_VAR_NAME!"

Override at runtime:

pipe hello name=Pipe
