Sheet W — Download
One installer. No account. No sales call.
Grab the Windows installer, paste a token, pick what to watch. If you are not up and running inside two minutes, the slow part was choosing which pipelines matter.
W-01 — Commissioning sequence
Three steps, one of them optional
- 01
Install
Run the setup. Greenlight installs for the current user and starts minimised in the tray. Grey icon, because it does not know anything yet.
- 02
Connect
Settings → add a connection. Organisation URL or GitHub owner, plus a Personal Access Token. Test, save, and it discovers what your token can see.
- 03
Pick your scope
Choose the projects, repos and pipelines that deserve your attention. Everything else stays out of the light.
W-02 — Requirements
What it expects of you
- Windows 10 (1903 or later) or Windows 11, x64.
- An Azure DevOps PAT with Code (read), Build (read), Identity/Profile (read).
- A GitHub PAT with repo, plus read:org for organisation discovery.
- Optional: a Velleman K8055 board and a three-lamp stoplight, for the full experience.
Updates
Greenlight updates itself in the background on the stable channel. No nag banner, no restart-now modal in the middle of a review.
Recent releases added GitHub as a second provider, custom sounds on build events, per-connection scope management, and a restart control for lamp plugins that lose their board.
W-03 — Other options
Run it from source instead
For people who would rather read the code than trust an installer, which is a defensible position and also slower.
git clone <your-repo-url> Greenlight
cd Greenlight
dotnet run --project DevWatch
# Settings -> add connection -> paste PAT -> Test -> Save
dotnet test # optional, like all good ideasConfig: %AppData%\DevWatch\ · Tokens: Credential Manager · Excuses: standup
W-04 — Something went sideways?
