List of Commands

Introduction
This document covers the commands supplied by skycli. Currently there are 5 groups of them:
app: all commands under this are to interact or manage apps on Skygear
auth: for authentication operations on skycli, like signing up
config: for Skygear cluster operations on skycli
secret: to manage secrets of a Skygear app
domain: to manage custom domains of a Skygear app
version: the only group where itself is a valid command, with no sub-commands
Type in skygear --help to print out these groups. To check the sub-commands, enter skygear <group-name> --help.
