kurtosis.yml

info

The kurtosis.yml is part of the Kurtosis package system. To read about the package system in detail, see here.

The kurtosis.yml file is a manifest file necessary to turn a directory into a Kurtosis package. This is the spec for the kurtosis.yml:

# The locator naming this package.
name: github.com/packageAuthor/packageRepoName

caution

Only packages at the root of the repo are currently supported (i.e. where the kurtosis.yml is at the root of the repo). Packages in subdirectories will be supported soon.

If you're only running the package locally, the packageAuthor and packageRepoName in the name field can be anything. In other words, when running a package locally, the GitHub repository does not in fact need to exist. Once pushed to Github though, packageAuthor and packageRepoName must match the Github repo's author and name.
