🗒 Description
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.
🚀 Getting Started Tutorial
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.
📌 Requirements
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.
📌 Migrating from V1
If you have been using version 1 of the oclif CLI there are some important differences to note when using the latest version.
Breaking Changes
oclif multi,oclif plugin, andoclif singlehave all been removed in favor ofoclif 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.

New Commands
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:
