Use the command line¶

Invoke the installed plugin through the Transpiler-Mate runtime:

transpiler-mate cwl2codemeta [OPTIONS] SOURCE

For example:

transpiler-mate cwl2codemeta \
  --code-repository https://gitlab.com/example/hello.git \
  --output build/codemeta.json \
  hello.cwl

SOURCE is a CWL document location understood by the installed runtime. Its document-level Schema.org metadata must satisfy the Transpiler-Mate SoftwareApplication model.

Plugin options¶

Option	Required	Default	Description
`--code-repository TEXT`	Yes	—	Git repository URL used to build a `SoftwareSourceCode` wrapper.
`--output PATH`	No	`codemeta.json`	Destination for the CodeMeta JSON-LD document.

The runtime may expose additional source-access options, such as OCI or OAuth credentials. Run the installed command's help to see its complete interface:

transpiler-mate cwl2codemeta --help

The destination's parent directory must already exist. An existing output file is replaced.

Repository enrichment¶

For GitHub repositories, the plugin derives the Actions, issues, wiki, releases, and deployments URLs. For GitLab repositories, it derives the pipelines and issues URLs plus related wiki, packages, and pipelines links. Other Git platforms still produce codeRepository, but the plugin does not currently derive additional platform links.
