🧪 Repo CLI Agent — For Repository-Wide Coverage

The Early CLI for Repository lets you generate unit tests across entire folders in your codebase — making it the fastest way to raise coverage across legacy code or large areas of your app.

📌 When to Use​

Use the Repo CLI Agent when:

  • You want a one-time coverage boost across a folder
  • You're onboarding a legacy service or utility layer
  • You want to run weekly or monthly coverage maintenance
  • You’re using GitHub, Bitbucket, or another supported SCM
  • You want to integrate with Jenkins, CircleCI, or GitHub Actions

⚙️ How It Works​

  1. You specify a folder using --folder ./src/utils
  2. The CLI scans files recursively in that folder
  3. Runs your configured coverage command
  4. Identifies low or zero-covered functions
  5. Generates tests using AI (Jest, Mocha, etc.)
  6. Optionally commits results (AUTO_COMMIT=true)

→ Command: early generate-folder
→ Configure via CLI flags or environment variables
