## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ci-cd, testing, http-server, webhook
- domain: testing, developer-tools
- platform: ruby, self-hosted, cli
- tags: continuous-integration, git-hooks, campfire-notifications, unmaintained, sinatra, devops, automation, web-server
