Command line tool for Visual Studio App Center

# Introduction

Visual Studio App Center command line interface (cli) is a unified tool for running App Center services from the command line.
Our aim is to offer a concise and powerful tool for our developers to use App Center services and easily script a sequence of
commands that they'd like to execute. You can currently login and view/configure all the apps that you have access to in App Center.

# Prerequisites

App Center CLI requires Node.js version 8 or better.

# Installation

```
npm install -g appcenter-cli
```

Once installed, use the `appcenter` command. See below for the available commands.

# Getting Help

To get a top level list of the available commands, run `appcenter help`.

To get help on a specific command or category, run `appcenter help command` or pass the `-h` flag to any command or category name.

App Center SDK support is provided directly within the App Center portal. Any time you need help, just log in to [App Center](https://appcenter.ms), then click the blue chat button in the lower-right corner of any page and our dedicated support team will respond to your questions and feedback. For additional information, see the [App Center Help Center](https://intercom.help/appcenter/getting-started/welcome-to-app-center-support).
