The toolchain-to-template script takes a Toolchain URL and will generate an OTC Template in the current folder that when run creates a clone of you original toolchain. For example:

./toolchain-to-template.sh https://cloud.ibm.com/devops/toolchains/2665ce98-ea71-43e8-b723-19bafdb7a541?env_id=ibm:yp:us-east`

1. The toolchain-to-template.sh script requires that the following utilities are pre-installed on your PATH: ibmcloud, curl, jq (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/), and yq (https://github.com/mikefarah/yq)
2. Create a temporary work folder where the script will generate your template
3. Download and copy toolchain-to-template.sh to your work folder
4. Use ibmcloud CLI to login to the account where your toolchain resides
5. Visit your Toolchain in the browser and copy the URL

In a shell run the following: ./toolchain-to-template.sh https://your-toolchain-url

The script generates a .bluemix folder that contains your template. To use the template create a git repo and copy the .bluemix folder into it. Commit, push and then visit your repository on an OTC Setup/Deploy page.

e.g https://cloud.ibm.com/devops/setup/deploy?env_id=ibm:yp:us-south&repository=https://your_repository_url

(Note: if your repository is private add "&repository_token=your_git_access_token")

Open the Setup/Deploy URL in a browser and click "Create" and the template will produce a newly minted clone of your original toolchain.
