ey_cli

An alternative command line interface for Engine Yard Cloud.

Still in early development.

Installation

gem install ey_cli

Usage

ey_cli command [args]

More information available about the available commands if you run:

ey_cli help

Examples

How to create a new application:

ey_cli create_app

That's all that you need if you're under the application directory and this already is in a git repository. It also runs a first deploy for free.

How to perform a new deploy:

ey_cli deploy

That's all, if the CLI doesn't know what you want to deploy it politely asks you.

Motivation

engineyard gem is strongly coupled to Thor, and I don't like the conventions that you have to assume because of this coupling.

engineyarg gem connects to your boxes directly to perform tasks. I prefer to connect to the available APIs and have a unique entry point.

Is this a replacement for engineyard gem, then? No, for now it's just an experiment and only implements a few number of commands.

Development notes

Check the opened issues if you want to help and don't know where to start from.

Run this command to execute the tests:

bundle rake
