Dagger lets you write CI/CD pipelines in your programming language — TypeScript, Python, Go. Runs locally and in any CI. No more YAML.
Reviewer scorecard
“The most readable CLI for HTTP requests. Intuitive syntax that doesn't require remembering curl flags.”
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“curl is powerful but HTTPie is readable. For quick API testing, the syntax difference matters.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“The desktop app is beautiful. Colorized output and JSON formatting make API responses easy to read.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
