Exploring The Syntax Schema

In this lesson we will be exploring the syntax schema using jx CLI.

I bet you were wondering how I knew that there are instructions like overrides and loop? I could have consulted the documentation in jenkins-x.io, but it is not always up-to-date. I could have consulted the code. As a matter of fact, most of what I know about pipelines comes from reviewing the code of the project. I did that not only because I like reading code, but also because that was the only reliable way to find out all the instructions we can specify.

The jx step syntax schema command

Fortunately, things have gotten a bit simpler since then, and the community has added the means to consult the full syntax schema with a single command.
