feat!(flags): rename CLI flag names and add flag builder by skevetter · Pull Request #714 · devsy-org/devsy

skevetter · 2026-07-22T06:26:32Z

Summary

Centralizes every devsy-owned CLI flag name into pkg/flags/names as the single source of truth, and adds a pkg/flags builder for uniform flag registration. Flag names become compile-checked constants instead of raw strings scattered across command definitions and self-invocation sites — so renaming a flag is a single edit the compiler propagates everywhere, and a mistyped flag fails to build rather than breaking silently at runtime.

What changed

pkg/flags/names — dependency-light leaf (imports only fmt) holding all flag-name constants plus Flag/FlagValue/FlagTrue/FlagFalse helpers. Importable from both cmd/ and pkg/ self-invocation builders without pulling in cobra. names_test.go pins every constant to its literal wire string, so an accidental value change fails CI rather than silently altering the CLI contract or devsy self-invocation command lines.
pkg/flags builder — String/Bool/Int/Int64/Duration/StringSlice/StringArray/Value constructors with chainable .Shorthand()/.Hidden(), registered via Add/AddPersistent.
Converted all cmd/ and pkg/ flag registrations, error messages, and devsy self-invocation command lines to the constants.
Extracted GPG signing helpers into pkg/gpg/signing.go.

Breaking changes

Backward compatibility is intentionally not preserved. Several flags are renamed for consistency and the hidden legacy up aliases are removed:

Old	New
`--additional-features`	`--features`
`--configure-ssh`	`--ssh-configure`
`--default-user-env-probe`	`--user-env-probe`
`--extra-devcontainer-path`	`--devcontainer-overlay`
`--git-clone-recursive-submodules`	`--git-recurse-submodules`
`--gpg-agent-forwarding`	`--ssh-gpg-forwarding`
`--prebuild-repository`	`--prebuild-repo`
`--ssh-tunnel-mode`	`--ssh-tunnel`
`--update-remote-user-uid-default`	`--update-remote-user-uid`

Removed aliases: --config, --override-config, --dotfiles-repository, --remove-existing-container — use the canonical flag names.

Other wire names are unchanged; devsy self-invocation command lines were verified byte-identical to main.

Pull request overview

Refactors devsy’s CLI flag handling by centralizing flag wire names into a shared pkg/flags/names package and introducing a small flag-registration builder to standardize cobra/pflag usage across commands and internal self-invocation call sites.

Changes:

Replaced scattered raw flag strings with compile-checked constants and helper renderers (names.Flag*) across cmd/, pkg/, and e2e tests.
Introduced shared flag registration helpers (builder + shared devcontainer modifier flag registration).
Extracted GPG signing-key detection into pkg/gpg/signing.go and added supporting tests.

Introduce pkg/flags/names as the single source of truth for every devsy-owned CLI flag name, and pkg/flags builder for uniform flag registration. Flag names are now compile-checked constants rather than raw strings scattered across command definitions and self-invocation sites, so a rename is a single edit the compiler propagates everywhere. - pkg/flags/names: dependency-light leaf (imports only fmt) holding all flag-name constants plus Flag/FlagValue/FlagTrue/FlagFalse helpers, usable from both cmd/ and pkg/ self-invocation builders without cobra. names_test.go pins every constant to its literal wire string so an accidental value change fails the build rather than silently altering the CLI contract. - pkg/flags builder: String/Bool/Int/Int64/Duration/StringSlice/ StringArray/Value constructors with chainable Shorthand()/Hidden(), registered via Add/AddPersistent. - Convert all cmd/ and pkg/ flag registrations and devsy self-invocation command lines to the constants; extract GPG signing helpers into pkg/gpg/signing.go. BREAKING CHANGE: renames several flags for consistency (ignoring backward compatibility) and removes hidden legacy aliases on `up`: additional-features -> features configure-ssh -> ssh-configure default-user-env-probe -> user-env-probe extra-devcontainer-path -> devcontainer-overlay git-clone-recursive-submodules -> git-recurse-submodules gpg-agent-forwarding -> ssh-gpg-forwarding prebuild-repository -> prebuild-repo ssh-tunnel-mode -> ssh-tunnel update-remote-user-uid-default -> update-remote-user-uid removed aliases: --config, --override-config, --dotfiles-repository, --remove-existing-container (use the canonical flag names). Other wire names are unchanged; devsy self-invocation command lines were verified byte-identical.

The docs site declared @docusaurus/core/preset-classic at ^3.5.2 while react/react-dom are at ^19. Docusaurus gained official React 19 support in 3.6; pin the range to ^3.10.2 (already the resolved version) so the declared dependency honestly reflects React 19 support rather than relying on the caret range happening to resolve high. Verified with a clean `yarn install --frozen-lockfile && yarn build`.

The flag refactor renames several flags; update the non-Go consumers that reference them by literal string: - desktop/src/main/ipc.ts: --prebuild-repository -> --prebuild-repo (the desktop app shells out to the devsy CLI; the old name would fail with "unknown flag" whenever a prebuild repository was set). - docs: --prebuild-repository -> --prebuild-repo and --gpg-agent-forwarding -> --ssh-gpg-forwarding in the workspace guides.

Wire the CLI's --devcontainer flag into the workspace wizard. The Advanced section's single "Dev container config" path field becomes a "Dev container source" mode selector that maps 1:1 to the flag forms: Auto-detect (default) -> flag omitted (project discovery) Config file path -> --devcontainer <path> Container image -> --devcontainer image:<ref> Named profile -> --devcontainer id:<name> Ignore project config -> --devcontainer none The value input only appears for modes that need one, and blank values for path/image/id fall back to omitting the flag so an invalid "image:"/"id:" token is never emitted. buildDevcontainerArg centralizes the mode->flag mapping and is covered by unit tests; the IPC layer now forwards a single `devcontainer` string instead of `devcontainerPath`.

Migrate the ci command's flag registration to the pkg/flags builder + names constants introduced in #714, matching build/up/exec. Flag renames that follow from the new convention: - --env -> --remote-env (names.RemoteEnv, matches exec) - --additional-features -> --features (shared devcontainer modifier flag) - --git-clone-recursive-submodules -> --git-recurse-submodules - drop --config alias and --devcontainer-id (removed repo-wide in #714) Update ci e2e/unit tests and docs to the new names.

Replace ci's --devcontainer-path with the unified --devcontainer selector (none | image:<ref> | id:<name> | path), matching devsy up after #714. Restores the ability to target a named .devcontainer/<name> profile — the former --devcontainer-id — which was dropped in the flag-builder migration. Parse the selector into the CLIOptions image/id/path fields before resolving the workspace so it flows through RunHeadless to the agent. Adds a unit test and docs.
