List of Commands

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.

When you are in some directories with no skygear.yaml inside, while you need to provide a Skygear app name to a skycli command, you can do this via the use of --app.
You won't need to do this when there exists a skygear.yaml in the current directory as skycli automatically looks for that and will parse the app value (i.e. an app's name) inside.

Whenever you need to interact with a Skygear app, go for these commands. Unless you are dealing with secrets, which should be done with theskygear secret commands. Most of them requires you to provide your app name.

Will ask you questions regarding the properties (e.g. name) of the app, then create one for you.

While Skygear gives your app a default domain with the suffix .skygearapp.com, you can replace this with a custom domain (that you own).

Register a custom domain to your Skygear app. Lines of DNS records will be outputted after executing the command, be sure to add them to your DNS provider. Then, verify the domain to complete the flow.

List all added custom domain of your Skygear app.

Display the metadata of a registered custom domain.
