Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Habitat Usage Guide

Habitat is a dependency-sync tool for mono-repo-like layouts built from multiple Git repos and asset downloads. This skill provides setup guidance, copy-pastable config snippets, and a troubleshooting checklist for common sync failures.

When to Apply

Setting up a “main repo + dependency repos/assets” workspace using .habitat + DEPS
Adding or changing dependency types: git repos, nested solutions, HTTP downloads, or custom actions
Debugging hab sync failures related to config, auth, network, or integrity checks

Troubleshooting Inputs

When sync fails (fetch errors, permission issues, timeouts), collect:

Habitat version and distribution (./hab wrapper in repo, hab.pex, etc.)
OS and architecture (darwin/windows/linux + arm64/x86_64)
The exact command and full error output (do not paste any secrets)
Relevant config snippets:
- .habitat
- DEPS (or the file pointed to by deps_file in .habitat)

Installation and Versioning

Prefer committing the Habitat wrapper (hab) and config files (.habitat, DEPS) into the repository so developers and CI use the same version and configuration.

Avoid downloading releases/latest in automation, because it is not reproducible. Instead, pin to a specific release version (tag) and keep that pinned version consistent across developers and CI.

HABITAT_VERSION="0.3.145"
curl -L -o hab "https://github.com/lynx-family/habitat/releases/download/${HABITAT_VERSION}/hab"
chmod +x hab

If you just want to try Habitat locally (not recommended for CI), you can download the latest release:

curl -L -o hab "https://github.com/lynx-family/habitat/releases/latest/download/hab"
chmod +x hab

If you need integrity verification, pin an expected SHA-256 for hab in your repo/CI and verify after download:

EXPECTED_SHA256="<fill-me>"

if command -v shasum >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "${EXPECTED_SHA256}  hab" | shasum -a 256 -c -
else
  echo "${EXPECTED_SHA256}  hab" | sha256sum -c -
fi

Multi-Repo Setup (solutions + deps)

1) Generate `.habitat` (solution config)

Generate the Habitat config at the main repo root:

./hab config <repo remote uri>

.habitat describes one or more solutions. Minimal example:

solutions = [
    {
        "name": ".",
        "deps_file": "DEPS",
        "url": "git@github.com:namespace/repo.git",
    }
]

Fields:

name: solution name, typically "." for the main repo
deps_file: dependency manifest path (relative to the main repo root)
url: the main repo remote URL (used by the tool/CI)

2) Write `DEPS` (dependency manifest)

In DEPS, define deps = { ... }. The key is the destination path in the main repo, and the value describes the dependency type and parameters.

2.1 git deps (source repositories)

deps = {
    "lib/example": {
        "type": "git",
        "url": "git@github.com:namespace/lib.git",
        "branch": "dev",
    }
}

Notes:

Prefer stable refs (e.g., commit) for reproducibility; use branches when you want rolling updates.
If the destination directory already exists and contains local changes, decide whether overwriting is acceptable before syncing.

2.2 solution deps (nested solutions)

If a dependency has its own dependency tree, you can bring it in as a solution and sync recursively:

deps = {
    "third_party/some_solution": {
        "type": "solution",
        "url": "git@github.com:namespace/solution_repo.git",
        "branch": "main",
        "deps_file": "DEPS",
    }
}

2.3 http deps (assets/archives/binaries)

Use this to download archives, toolchains, model files, etc. Prefer providing integrity checks for verifiability and reproducibility:

deps = {
    "third_party/tooling": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://example.com/tooling.zip",
        "sha256": "SHA256_HEX",
    }
}

2.4 action deps (custom sync actions)

Use this to run extra steps during sync (generate files, copy assets, apply patches, etc.). Example:

def example_function():
    from pathlib import Path
    import shutil

    dest_dir = Path("scripts/sync_something")
    dest_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
    src = dest_dir / "input.txt"
    dst = dest_dir / "output.txt"
    src.write_text("example\n", encoding="utf-8")
    shutil.copyfile(src, dst)


deps = {
    "scripts/sync_something": {
        "type": "action",
        "function": example_function,
    }
}

Sync Dependencies (hab sync)

Run at the main repo root:

./hab sync .

After sync, dependencies are materialized into the paths specified by the keys in DEPS.

Track Config in Version Control

Commit the wrapper and config files to enable one-command bootstrapping for developers and CI:

git add hab .habitat DEPS && git commit -m "Add habitat to manage dependencies."

FAQ / Common Failures

1) git permission/auth failures

Symptoms:

Errors like Permission denied, Authentication failed, or Could not read from remote repository

Fix:

Ensure the dependency url protocol matches your environment (SSH/HTTPS).
For SSH, confirm your SSH key is configured and has access to the target repo.
In CI, confirm the runner is provisioned with the right credentials.

2) http integrity check failures (sha256 mismatch)

Symptoms:

Download succeeds but integrity verification fails

Fix:

Check whether url content changed or redirects to different content.
Recompute sha256 for the actual artifact and update sha256 in DEPS.
If the URL is rolling (e.g., “latest”), prefer an immutable, versioned URL.

3) Sync hangs/timeouts

Fix:

Identify which dependency is slow (temporarily comment out others and bisect).
Check proxy settings, DNS, and network reachability.
For large git deps, consider pinning to a commit and reducing unnecessary history (if supported by your setup).

Response Format (when assisting users)

When a user asks for help configuring deps, fixing errors, or speeding up sync, respond in this order:

Conclusion first (root cause + fix)
Minimal copy-pastable commands/snippets (.habitat / DEPS / ./hab sync .)
Call out risky operations (overwriting local dirs, rolling deps harming reproducibility, etc.)
If it can still fail, list the next required inputs (version, full error log, relevant config snippets)

# Habitat Usage Guide

Habitat is a dependency-sync tool for mono-repo-like layouts built from multiple Git repos and asset downloads. This skill provides setup guidance, copy-pastable config snippets, and a troubleshooting checklist for common sync failures.

## When to Apply

- Setting up a “main repo + dependency repos/assets” workspace using `.habitat` + `DEPS`
- Adding or changing dependency types: git repos, nested solutions, HTTP downloads, or custom actions
- Debugging `hab sync` failures related to config, auth, network, or integrity checks

## Troubleshooting Inputs

When sync fails (fetch errors, permission issues, timeouts), collect:

- Habitat version and distribution (`./hab` wrapper in repo, `hab.pex`, etc.)
- OS and architecture (darwin/windows/linux + arm64/x86_64)
- The exact command and full error output (do not paste any secrets)
- Relevant config snippets:
  - `.habitat`
  - `DEPS` (or the file pointed to by `deps_file` in `.habitat`)

## Installation and Versioning

Prefer committing the Habitat wrapper (`hab`) and config files (`.habitat`, `DEPS`) into the repository so developers and CI use the same version and configuration.

Avoid downloading `releases/latest` in automation, because it is not reproducible. Instead, pin to a specific release version (tag) and keep that pinned version consistent across developers and CI.

```bash
HABITAT_VERSION="0.3.145"
curl -L -o hab "https://github.com/lynx-family/habitat/releases/download/${HABITAT_VERSION}/hab"
chmod +x hab
```

If you just want to try Habitat locally (not recommended for CI), you can download the latest release:

```bash
curl -L -o hab "https://github.com/lynx-family/habitat/releases/latest/download/hab"
chmod +x hab
```

If you need integrity verification, pin an expected SHA-256 for `hab` in your repo/CI and verify after download:

```bash
EXPECTED_SHA256="<fill-me>"

if command -v shasum >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "${EXPECTED_SHA256}  hab" | shasum -a 256 -c -
else
  echo "${EXPECTED_SHA256}  hab" | sha256sum -c -
fi
```

## Multi-Repo Setup (solutions + deps)

    }
]
```

Fields:

- `name`: solution name, typically `"."` for the main repo
- `deps_file`: dependency manifest path (relative to the main repo root)
- `url`: the main repo remote URL (used by the tool/CI)

### 2) Write `DEPS` (dependency manifest)

In `DEPS`, define `deps = { ... }`. The key is the destination path in the main repo, and the value describes the dependency type and parameters.
