Elwood sources now available in Bitbucket

For the past few weeks, I've been squeezing every last drop of my own time to get Elwood working. From a simple process executor to a functional web application, where I could trigger a build by clicking a link. I have to say that this app is simple and crude, but is really fun to work on!

Think about this for a moment - we're writing a tool to build the tool itself!

Elwood is made up of a back-end REST service and a front-end AngularJS app. The REST service requires Redis 3 (never tested this on Redis 2+). The app keeps a list of projects and tracks the build results. Currently, it only supports Git with SSH (with or without passphrase).

"Elwood threw down his fork. He pushed his chair back and stood up. Liz stared up in astonishment at him, her cup half raised. Bob's mouth hung open, his sentence unfinished. Little Toddy said nothing."

The sources are available in Bitbucket:



 Looking ahead, this is going to be a very long journey...
