CLI — YAML config mode

The config mode reads answers from a devops-maturity.yml file instead of prompting interactively. Store this file in your repository so that assessments are versioned, reviewable in pull requests, and repeatable in CI.

Basic usage

# Uses devops-maturity.yml in the current directory by default
dm config

Options

# Specify a custom file path
dm config --file path/to/my-baseline.yml

# Override the project name from the command line
dm config --file devops-maturity.yml --project-name "service-x"

# Override the project URL
dm config --file devops-maturity.yml --project-url "https://github.com/org/service-x"

YAML file format

The file uses criterion IDs as keys and true/false as values. See Example: YAML config file for a complete annotated example.

Using in CI

Add a dm config step to your CI pipeline to track the maturity score over time alongside each release.

Example GitHub Actions step:

- name: Run DevOps Maturity assessment
  run: |
    pip install devops-maturity
    dm config --file devops-maturity.yml

Tip

Commit devops-maturity.yml to your repository and update it whenever you adopt a new practice. This makes maturity progress visible in your git history.
