TakT setup hackathon

What is TakT?

TakT is the name af a GitHub CLI extension which enables a truly Trunk-Based — Pull-Request free — workflow, that still allows for use of reviews, but in a non-blocking manner

It works by simply extending git (and gh CLI). with the commands workon, wrapup and deliver and in addition — through standardized devcontainers, workflows and hooks — it automates the entire process towards main (trunk) and the semver command will help deal with the tags, when final approval is done.

TakT is a living example of a true DevX approach. The ideal is that onboarding new developers or AI agents should be as easy as simply cloning the repository and starting the IDE.

Why this event?

The core and fundamental concept is that any repo is always 100% self contained. No extras are needed to get up and running. You do not need to install anything project specific on your machine, you do not need to configure anything, you do not need to have any knowledge of the repo or the project.

For this to work, we do have need four generic dependencies installed on your machine:

• VS Code
• A Docker Engine
• Git
• GitHub CLI

This may not cause any issues at all — Cool! But we also frequently see that developers have a hard time getting their head around installing WSL, Ubuntu and setting up a Docker Engine on the local environment — so lets do is what we will do.
