Mechanism

The xbar plugin is a script that runs at regular intervals, with xbar displaying its standard output on the menu bar. The execution frequency is expressed in the file name.

{plugin_name}.{time}.{ext}

The plugin can be used by placing it in the following directory.

$(HOME)/Library/Application\ Support/xbar/plugins/

make setup/cli performs the following operations:

1. Uses the internal implementation of PipeCD's CLI, pipectl, to make API calls to the PipeCD control plane
2. Builds the above implementation
3. Creates a symbolic link in $(HOME)/Library/Application\ Support/xbar/plugins/ for the shell script xpipecd-xbar.sh and the built executable itself
