CloudIDE CLI (cide)

A powerful development and deployment orchestrator for the CloudIDE ecosystem. This tool simplifies multi-repository management, automated builds, package publishing, and microservices lifecycle control.

📦 Installation

To use cide globally during development:

cd d:/GitHUB/CloudIDE/cloud-ide-cli
npm link

🚀 Key Commands

1. The Interactive Shell (Recommended)

The most powerful way to use the tool. It provides a persistent REPL with history and intelligent command discovery.

cide shell

2. Microservices Management

• cide server status — Health overview of all 17+ services.
• cide server dev — Start all services in development mode.
• cide server up <svc> — Interactive one-service startup.

3. Deployment

• cide upload — Deploy the current workspace to a configured production server.
• cide upload --list — See deployment history.
• cide server deploy — Interactive deployment wrapper inside the shell.

4. Publishing

• cide publish — Interactive npm/GitHub registry publishing with automatic version bumping and 2FA support.
• cide install-global — Locally link all workspace libraries.

5. Multi-Repo Git

• cide status — Consolidated Git status for all repositories in the monorepo.
• cide commit "msg" — Workspace-wide commit.

🛠 Project Configuration (cide.json)

Each manageable project (Angular Library, Node Suite, etc.) must contain a cide.json file.

Example Structure:

{
  "templete": "node",
  "name": "my-suite",
  "upload": [
    {
      "name": "Production",
      "server_url": "http://api.yoursite.com:4500/upload",
      "base_url": "http://api.yoursite.com:3000",
      "app_code": "my-suite",
      "token": "..."
    }
  ]
}

📋 Technical Notes

• Process Tracking: background processes are tracked in .cide_node_bg_pid.json.
• Discovery: The CLI auto-detects Angular workspaces and Node suites based on directory structure and cide.json presence.
