# ci console 0.0.2 released

I like to commit code frequently when working on a project. I also
like to use the command line for building, testing and committing
code. So I thought it would be nice to have a way to check the build
status from the command line. I have been wanting to write something
in C++11 and a small lightweight command line tool seemed like a good
opportunity.

My efforts can be found here <https://github.com/grahambrooks/ci/>

I have been playing around with a few different report formats and
[version 0.0.2](https://github.com/grahambrooks/ci/releases/tag/0.0.2)
seems to be working the way I like to work.

With no options the tool loads configuration from a Json formatted
configuration file somewhere on the current path and reports the
number of builds in each category (successful, failed, building,
fixing). Adding the --verbose option lists all the builds from the
server.

Status

* Error handling is basically non-existent
* Not enough tests - currently the code feels and looks like a prototype
* Needs input from others

You can download a DMG of the compiled binary or build from source
<https://github.com/grahambrooks/ci>

If you decide to build from source I suggest homebrew for boost. Make
sure you install boost with the --with-c++11. You will also need the
latest (5.0) XCode for Clang

Let me know what you think and of course send me your pull feature
