Host UK Developer Workspace

This repository is the unified entry point for Host UK development. One command sets up your entire environment.

Quick Start

git clone git@github.com:host-uk/core-devops.git && cd core-devops && make setup

Windows (PowerShell as Admin):

git clone git@github.com:host-uk/core-devops.git; cd core-devops; .\scripts\install-deps.ps1; .\scripts\install-core.ps1; core setup

What Happens

make setup does three things:

1. Installs dependencies - PHP 8.3+, Composer, Node 20+, pnpm, GitHub CLI
2. Installs the core CLI - Multi-repo management tool
3. Clones all packages - Into packages/ (foundation and modules by default)

After setup, run core doctor to verify everything is working.

What's Next

You're now ready to develop. The workspace starts with core-php as the active package.

# Check your environment
core doctor

# See workspace status
core health

# Run tests in the active package (core-php)
core php test

# Switch to a different package
# Edit .core/workspace.yaml and change "active: core-tenant"

To work directly in a package:

cd packages/core-php
composer install
composer test

Commands

Workspace-level

core health             # Status summary: "18 repos │ clean │ synced"
core work               # Full workflow: status → commit → push
core work --status      # Status table only
core commit             # Claude-assisted commits for dirty repos
core push               # Push repos with unpushed commits
core pull               # Pull repos that are behind

Active package

core php test           # Run Pest tests
core php lint           # Run Pint linter
core php dev            # Start Vite dev server

GitHub integration

core issues             # Open issues across repos
core issues --assignee @me
core reviews            # PRs needing review
core ci                 # GitHub Actions status

Prerequisites

Run core doctor to check your environment. Required:

• Git - Version control
• GitHub CLI (gh) - Issues, PRs, CI status
• PHP 8.3+ - Laravel packages
• Composer - PHP dependencies
• Node.js 20+ - Frontend builds
• pnpm - Package manager

Optional:

• Claude Code - AI-assisted development
• Docker - For FrankenPHP runtime

Package Types

Defined in repos.yaml:

Type	Packages	Description
foundation	core-php	Base framework, zero dependencies
module	core-tenant, core-admin, core-api, core-mcp, etc.	Infrastructure
product	core-bio, core-social, core-analytics, etc.	User-facing apps
template	core-template	Starter for new projects
meta	core-devops	This workspace repo

By default, core setup clones foundation and module packages. To clone specific types:

core setup --only foundation,module,product

Troubleshooting

"core: command not found"

make install-core

"gh: command not found"

brew install gh && gh auth login -h github.com -p https -s workflow,repo,read:org,read:project,project

"refusing to allow an OAuth App to create or update workflow" or "missing required scopes"

gh auth refresh -h github.com -s workflow,read:project,project

Clone failures

ssh -T git@github.com  # Verify SSH keys

Missing dependencies

core doctor --fix
