github-actions[bot]@backstage/cli
This package provides a CLI for developing Backstage plugins and apps.
Installation
Install the package via npm or Yarn:
$ npm install --save @backstage/cli
or
$ yarn add @backstage/cli
Development
For local development the cli can be used directly, even from other packages in this repo. The bin/backstage-cli entrypoint contains a switch that will load the implementation from the src directory when executed inside this repo.
To run the cli in watch mode, use yarn start <args>. For example yarn start lint --help.
To try out the command locally, you can execute the following from the parent directory of this repo:
./backstage/packages/cli/bin/backstage-cli --help
