This is the oclif CLI for the Open CLI Framework, that supports the development of oclif plugins and CLIs.

See the docs for more information.

The Getting Started tutorial is a step-by-step guide to introduce you to oclif. If you have not developed anything in a command line before, this tutorial is a great place to get started.

See Usage below for an overview of the oclif CLI.

Currently, Node 18+ is supported. We support the LTS versions of Node. You can add the node package to your CLI to ensure users are running a specific version of Node.

If you have been using version 1 of the oclif CLI there are some important differences to note when using the latest version.

• oclif multi, oclif plugin, and oclif single have all been removed in favor of oclif generate, which generates an oclif based CLI using the hello-world example repo.
  • The reason is that there's not enough of a meaningful difference between a "multi command cli", a "single command cli", and a "plugin" to justify the maintenance cost. The generated CLI can be easily used for any of those use cases.
• oclif hook is now oclif generate:hook
• oclif command is now oclif generate:command

Version 2 now includes all the commands from the oclif-dev CLI. This means that you can now use a single CLI for all your oclif needs. These commands include:

• oclif manifest
• oclif pack
• oclif pack:deb
• oclif pack:macos
• oclif pack:win
• oclif upload (formerly known as oclif-dev publish)
• oclif upload:deb (formerly known as oclif-dev publish:deb)
• oclif upload:macos (formerly known as oclif-dev publish:macos)
• oclif upload:win (formerly known as oclif-dev publish:win)
• oclif readme
