Régis Behmo 16e6131f96 feat: pluggable local/dev/k8s do <job> commands
We introduce a new filter to implement custom commands in arbitrary containers.
It becomes easy to write convenient ad-hoc commands that users will
then be able to run either on Kubernetes or locally using a documented CLI.

Pluggable jobs are declared as Click commands and are responsible for
parsing their own arguments. See the new CLI_DO_COMMANDS filter.

.. _theming:
Changing the appearance of Open edX
===================================
Installing a custom theme
-------------------------
Comprehensive theming is enabled by default, but only the default theme is compiled. `Indigo <https://github.com/overhangio/indigo>`__ is a better, ready-to-run theme that you can start using today.
To compile your own theme, add it to the ``env/build/openedx/themes/`` folder::
git clone https://github.com/me/myopenedxtheme.git \
"$(tutor config printroot)/env/build/openedx/themes/myopenedxtheme"
The ``themes`` folder should have the following structure::
openedx/themes/
mycustomtheme1/
cms/
...
lms/
...
mycustomtheme2/
...
Then you must rebuild the openedx Docker image::
tutor images build openedx
Finally, you should enable your theme with the :ref:`settheme command <settheme>`.
.. _theme_development:
Developing a new theme
----------------------
With Tutor, it's pretty easy to develop your own themes. Start by placing your files inside the ``env/build/openedx/themes`` directory. For instance, you could start from the ``edx.org`` theme present inside the ``edx-platform`` repository::
cp -r /path/to/edx-platform/themes/edx.org "$(tutor config printroot)/env/build/openedx/themes/"
.. warning::
You should not create a soft link here. If you do, it will trigger a ``Theme not found in any of the themes dirs`` error. This is because soft links are not properly resolved from inside docker containers.
Then, run a local webserver::
tutor dev start lms
The LMS can then be accessed at http://local.overhang.io:8000. You will then have to :ref:`enable that theme <settheme>`::
tutor dev do settheme mythemename
Watch the themes folders for changes (in a different terminal)::
tutor dev run watchthemes
Make changes to some of the files inside the theme directory: the theme assets should be automatically recompiled and visible at http://local.overhang.io:8000.
