Command-line tools¶
The command-line tools are supplied to enable scripted usage of the Trigger.io Forge build service. For normal usage, it is expected that the Trigger.io Toolkit will be easier and more powerful.
There are four main commands when using Trigger.io:
- forge create
- forge build
- forge run
- forge package
Reload has a number of commands which can be run from the command line:
- forge reload list
- forge reload create
- forge reload push
These are explained in more detail in Using Trigger.io Reload.
There are also some additional commands which may be used:
- forge check: Perform some sanity checks on the app, including parsing the Javascript to check for syntax errors.
- forge migrate: Migrate to the next version of Forge, you will be prompted to run this when it is available.
Run any command with the --help argument to see more information about the particular command.
Note
All commands can be run with the --verbose parameter, to enable the display of more output.
