CI Joe is a lightweight, fun Continuous Integration server written in Ruby that runs your project's tests on demand and reports pass/fail status. It works with any language by executing a configurable shell command against a git repo and exposing a simple web UI and status endpoint.

Use cases

• run tests automatically on every git push
• self-host a minimal CI server for a small project
• get build notifications in Campfire, IRC, or email via git hooks
• check CI build status from a script with a ping endpoint
• run CI builds against a non-master branch

When to choose

• you want a dead-simple, single-binary CI server with no dependencies beyond git and Ruby
• your project is small and you prefer shell-script hooks over complex CI configuration
• you need language-agnostic test running via exit codes

When to avoid

• you need a maintained, actively supported tool (it is unmaintained since ~2011)
• you need parallel or distributed builds, artifacts, or rich reporting
• you cannot risk a hard reset wiping unpushed commits in the target repo
