Setup

Setup the CLI by running wmill setup. This will guide you through the setup process easily.

Pushing Resources

The CLI can push resource specifications to a windmill instance. See the examples/ folder for formats.

Pushing a folder

You can push all files in a folder at once using wmill push Files MUST be named resource_name.<type>.json. They will be pushed to the remote path they are in, for example the file u/admin/fib/fib.script.json will be pushed as a script to u/admin/fib/fib.

Pushing individual files

You can push individual resources using wmill <type> push <file_name> \<remote_name\>. This does not require a special folder layout or file name, as this is given at runtime.

Listing

All commands support listing by just not providing a subcommand, ie wmill script will result in a list of scripts. Some allow additional options, learn about this by specifying --help.

User Management

You can add & remove users via wmill user add/remove, and list them using wmill user

Login

Logging in using wmill login or the setup will save a token to your local computer, into ~/.config/windmill/<hash>/token (or C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\windmill\<hash>\token on windows). This is inherently unsafe, so do not log into the CLI on untrusted devices.

Managing Remotes

Advanced users may use multiple remotes at once, which the CLI supports using wmill remote.

Add remotes using wmill remote add <name> <base_url> & Remove them using wmill remote remove <name>.

You can use a remote by either setting it as default using wmill remote set-default <name> or by overriding the remote using --remote <name> on any command.

If you don’t want to save the URL locally, you can always override the command using --base-url <base_url> on any command.

Login on multiple remotes

You will have to login on each remote, either do this using wmill login or override the token/credentials on each command using --token <token>/--username <username> --password <password>.

Completion

The CLI comes with completions out of the box via wmill completions <shell>. (Via cliffy)
