Using CLI Tools

Prefer CLI tools over web dashboards. CLIs are scriptable, reproducible, and keep developers in flow.

Principle: If a CLI exists for a service, use it. Only fall back to web UI when the CLI genuinely can't do the task.

supabase migration new <name>
supabase functions deploy <name>
supabase gen types typescript --linked > types/supabase.ts

Vercel (vercel)

vercel                  # preview deploy
vercel --prod           # production deploy
vercel env pull .env.local
vercel logs <url>

Netlify (netlify)

netlify init
netlify dev             # local dev server with functions
netlify deploy          # draft deploy
netlify deploy --prod
netlify env:set KEY value
netlify functions:serve

Cloudflare (wrangler)

wrangler init
wrangler dev            # local dev

wrangler r2 bucket create <name>
wrangler secret put <name>

Prisma (prisma)

npx prisma init
npx prisma generate     # generate client
npx prisma db push      # sync schema (dev)
npx prisma migrate dev  # create migration
npx prisma migrate deploy
npx prisma studio       # visual editor

Stripe (stripe)

stripe login
stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/webhooks
stripe trigger payment_intent.succeeded
stripe logs tail
stripe products create --name="Pro Plan"

Docker (docker compose)

docker compose up -d
docker compose logs -f <service>
docker compose exec <service> sh
docker compose down
docker compose build --no-cache

Package Manager Detection

Respect the project's lock file:

  • package-lock.json → npm
  • pnpm-lock.yaml → pnpm
  • yarn.lock → yarn
  • bun.lockb → bun

Never mix package managers in the same project.

Additional Tools

For less common but useful CLIs, see ADDITIONAL-TOOLS.md:

  • AWS CLI basics
  • Railway, Fly.io
  • ngrok, Turborepo
  • Database CLIs (Planetscale, Neon)

When CLI Unavailable

If a task requires the web UI (e.g., enabling a Supabase extension), note this explicitly with the exact navigation path.
