Setup

1. Make sure you have a GitHub account.

2. Relate your GitHub username to your instructor.

3. In exchange, your instructor will give you a Concourse team name.

   Make note of your team name.

4. Visit https://concourse.pal4pe.com/ and bookmark the page.

5. Log in with github auth (upper right-hand corner of the page).

6. From the Concourse dashboard (lower right-hand corner of the page), download the fly CLI for your operating system.

   The downloaded file is the fly CLI binary, ready to use.

7. Install the fly CLI on your system.

   If on a linux or apple operating system, that implies:

   • making the file executable (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod)
   • moving the file to your PATH

8. Verify that the fly CLI is installed and responsive with the command:

   fly --version
   

9. Use the fly CLI to log in to your team.

   Hint

   fly -t workshop login \
     --concourse-url=https://concourse.pal4pe.com/ \
     --team-name={your-team-name}
   

10. Investigate and otherwise decipher the login command. What is the -t flag for?

11. Figure out what fly command is used to query Concourse for the list of pipelines in your team. What pipelines exist in your team?

    Hint

    See managing pipelines.
