# CLI
The Oblique CLI is a command-line interface tool designed to create and maintain Oblique applications directly from
a shell environment. It automates project setup, dependency management, and routine maintenance tasks,
providing a streamlined workflow for both new and existing Oblique applications.
See [README.md](https://github.com/oblique-bit/oblique/blob/master/README.md) on GitHub for information about the other packages and projects in the Oblique ecosystem.
## Documentation
The official Oblique CLI documentation is located here: <https://oblique.bit.admin.ch/introductions/cli>
It includes information about the entire ecosystem, usage instructions, code samples, FAQs, and more.
## Getting Started
The recommended way to use `@oblique/cli` is via `npx`, allowing explicit control over the version to use. This
means no global installation is needed.
```shell
npx @oblique/cli@latest
```
This ensures the latest version of the CLI is used.
If a specific version is needed, replace `latest` with the desired version, for instance:
```shell
npx @oblique/cli@13
```
or
```shell
npx @oblique/cli@13.1.1
```
## Content
This package includes a few commands that call other tools as needed.
### Commands
If the project is behind by more than one major version, run the command step by step through each major version until
the latest is reached
| Command | Parameter | Description |
| ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `npx @oblique/cli@latest new <projectName>` | The name of the project to create | Creates a new Oblique project |
| `npx @oblique/cli@latest update` | N/A | Updates the Oblique project in which the command is called |
The `update` command performs the following actions:
- Migrate all Angular packages and their dependencies to the versions compatible with the latest Oblique version
- Migrate all Oblique packages and their dependencies to the latest version
- Update all other dependencies to their latest compatible versions
- Clean up the dependency tree
### Options
| Option | Description |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-v`, `--version` | Prints the current version of `@oblique/cli` |
| `-h`, `--help` | Prints the documentation for the command it has been applied to |
## Tips & Best Practices
- Always use the latest version to create new projects to avoid using outdated features
- Use the CLI version corresponding to the target upgrade version for existing projects
- Update major versions one step at the time. For example, to go from Oblique 12 to 14, first update to 13, then to 14
- Keep the project dependencies up-to-date. This helps fix bugs, improve performance, maintain security, ensure compatibility, and reduce technical debt
