What is Migraine?

Why Migraine?

Development teams often face common challenges:

• Complex setup procedures that need to be repeatedly executed
• Environment-specific configurations that must be carefully managed
• Multi-step deployment processes that are error-prone when done manually
• Team-wide consistency in development workflows
• Time lost in documentation and sharing of common procedures

Migraine addresses these challenges by allowing you to:

• Define workflows as code using simple JSON templates
• Share and version control your automation procedures
• Execute complex sequences of commands with built-in variable support
• Verify prerequisites before running critical operations
• Break down complex processes into discrete, manageable actions

Key Features

• Template-Based Workflows: Create reusable workflow templates that can be shared across your team
• Variable Substitution: Use dynamic variables in your workflows for flexible execution
• Pre-flight Checks: Ensure all prerequisites are met before workflow execution
• Discrete Actions: Define and execute specific parts of your workflow independently
• Remote Templates: Load workflow templates from URLs for easy sharing and distribution
• Simple Syntax: Use familiar JSON format for defining workflows
• Cross-Platform: Works on both macOS and Linux systems

Perfect For

• DevOps engineers automating deployment procedures
• Development teams standardizing environment setup
• System administrators managing repeated operations
• Anyone looking to automate complex command sequences

Quick Example

• Here's a glimpse of how simple it is to use Migraine:

# Install Migraine
brew install migraine

# Create a new workflow from a template
migraine workflow new

# Run a workflow with variables
migraine run my_workflow -v PROJECT_PATH=/path/to/project

# Execute specific actions
migraine run my_workflow -a deploy
