fabric8.yml file

The fabric8.yml file is an optional YAML file that the Fabric8 DevOps tools use to store project configuration inside the source code of a project.

Its a place you can store things like

• the path of the Jenkins Workflow script from the Jenkins Workflow Library
• the name of the chat room and issue tracker
• web links to all the different services for a project (git repository, jenkins build, chat room, issue tracker, staging and production environments etc)

Usually the file is lazily created when there is some custom configuration for a project to be stored.

Editing the fabric8.yml file

There are a few ways you can edit the contents:

• the project settings button in the console
• the fabric8.yml file directly using a text editor in source control
• using the Fabric8 DevOps Forge commands from the CLI or in your IDE
