CLI Usage¶
Purpose¶
This guide explains how to use the bijux-cli command line effectively. It exists to help you choose the right flags and output formats for real-world workflows.
Scope¶
It covers core command structure, common flags, and output formats. It does not describe every command in detail; use the reference for exhaustive command lists.
Command Structure¶
Bijux commands follow a consistent pattern: bijux <command> [subcommand] [args] [flags]. This consistency is designed to make the CLI predictable across different command groups.
Output Formats¶
Use --format json when you need machine-readable output and --format yaml when you prefer human-readable structured output. Structured formats disable styling to guarantee consistent parsing.
Color and Quiet Modes¶
Color is a presentation concern and does not affect results. Quiet mode reduces non-essential output but does not change exit codes or structured output semantics.
Examples¶
The following example requests a JSON response to ensure parsing stability in scripts:
Why This Matters¶
Choosing explicit output formats and flags prevents surprises in CI and automation. The CLI is designed to make these choices explicit so behavior remains stable over time.
