OSEDA CLI

The CLI tool designed to help you scaffold, manage, and deploy your OSEDA projects. It simplifies common development workflows, letting you focus on building your own presentations, ready to deploy to oseda.net.

Installation

To install oseda-cli, make sure you have Cargo installed. Then, run:

bash cargo install oseda-cli

Usage

The oseda CLI provides several commands to manage your projects.

Global Options

• --version: Prints version information
• --help: Prints help message

Commands

oseda init — Initialize a new OSEDA project

Sets up a new OSEDA project in the current directory with a basic Reveal.js setup, Vite config, and markdown-based slide deck.

bash oseda init

Example:

`bash oseda init

(follow prompts for project setup)

`

Output:

Successfully initialized oseda project

oseda run — Run your OSEDA project locally

Builds and serves your OSEDA presentation using Vite and Serve.

bash oseda run

Example:

bash oseda run

Output:

Successfully ran oseda project

oseda check — Check your OSEDA project for issues

Performs a series of checks to validate your project before deployment. This includes verifying your config file, git credentials, directory structure, and whether the presentation returns a valid response locally.

Passing this check is the minimum bar for deployment approval by a moderator

bash oseda check [OPTIONS]

Options:

• --port <PORT>: Specifies the port to check. Default is 3000.

Example:

bash oseda check --port 8080

Output:

Successfully checked oseda project

oseda deploy — Deploy your OSEDA project

Clones your fork of the deployment repo, places your project inside the courses/ directory, and pushes changes to your GitHub fork. You do not need to manage this direcotory and this is automatically cleaned up

You must be signed into GitHub and have user.name and user.email configured for this to work.

bash oseda deploy [FORK_URL]

FORK_URL:

The URL of your fork of https://github.com/oseda-dev/oseda-lib

Example:

bash oseda deploy https://github.com/ReeseHatfield/oseda-lib

Output:

Successfully deployed oseda project See deployment instructions...

Project Structure

OSEDA projects are structured like this:

oseda-project/
├── oseda-config.json     # project metadata
├── slides/               # markdown files
├── src/                  # reveal.js entrypoint
├── css/                  # custom styling
├── index.html            # reveal.js HTML wrapper
├── vite.config.js        # Vite build setup
└── package.json          # npm dependencies

Your oseda-config.json must match the project folder name and contain correct git author info to pass checks.

Requirements

• Linux/macOS (uses lsof, kill, serve, etc.)
• Node.js + npm
• Git (with user.name and user.email configured)
• Internet access for npm and git commands

Error Handling

If any command encounters an error, the CLI prints a descriptive message and exits with code 1.

Example (Init Error):

Could not initialize project with error: DirectoryNameMismatch("Project name does not match directory")
