# Resin CLI Documentation

This tool allows you to interact with the resin.io api from the comfort of your command line.

Please make sure your system meets the requirements as specified in the [README](https://github.com/resin-io/resin-cli).

To get started download the CLI from npm.

	$ npm install resin-cli -g

Then authenticate yourself:

	$ resin login

Now you have access to all the commands referenced below.

# Logs

## logs &#60;uuid&#62;

Use this command to show logs for a specific device.

By default, the command prints all log messages and exit.

To continuously stream output, and see new logs in real time, use the `--tail` option.

Note that for now you need to provide the whole UUID for this command to work correctly.

This is due to some technical limitations that we plan to address soon.

Examples:

	$ resin logs 23c73a1
	$ resin logs 23c73a1

### Options

#### --tail, -t

# Sync

## sync [uuid]

Warning: 'resin sync' requires an openssh-compatible client and 'rsync' to
be correctly installed in your shell environment. For more information (including
Windows support) please check the README here: https://github.com/resin-io/resin-cli

Use this command to sync your local changes to a certain device on the fly.

After every 'resin sync' the updated settings will be saved in
'<source>/.resin-sync.yml' and will be used in later invocations. You can
also change any option by editing '.resin-sync.yml' directly.

Here is an example '.resin-sync.yml' :

	$ cat $PWD/.resin-sync.yml
	uuid: 7cf02a6
	destination: '/usr/src/app'
	before: 'echo Hello'
	after: 'echo Done'
	ignore:
		- .git
		- node_modules/

Command line options have precedence over the ones saved in '.resin-sync.yml'.

If '.gitignore' is found in the source directory then all explicitly listed files will be
excluded from the syncing process. You can choose to change this default behavior with the
'--skip-gitignore' option.

Examples:

	$ resin sync 7cf02a6 --source . --destination /usr/src/app
	$ resin sync 7cf02a6 -s /home/user/myResinProject -d /usr/src/app --before 'echo Hello' --after 'echo Done'
	$ resin sync --ignore lib/
	$ resin sync --verbose false
	$ resin sync

### Options

#### --source, -s &#60;path&#62;

local directory path to synchronize to device

#### --destination, -d &#60;path&#62;

destination path on device

#### --ignore, -i &#60;paths&#62;

comma delimited paths to ignore when syncing

#### --skip-gitignore

do not parse excluded/included files from .gitignore

#### --skip-restart

do not restart container after syncing

#### --before, -b &#60;command&#62;

execute a command before syncing

#### --after, -a &#60;command&#62;

execute a command after syncing

#### --port, -t &#60;port&#62;

ssh port

#### --progress, -p

show progress

#### --verbose, -v

increase verbosity

# SSH

## ssh [uuid]

Warning: 'resin ssh' requires an openssh-compatible client to be correctly
installed in your shell environment. For more information (including Windows
support) please check the README here: https://github.com/resin-io/resin-cli

Use this command to get a shell into the running application container of
your device.

Examples:

	$ resin ssh MyApp
	$ resin ssh 7cf02a6
	$ resin ssh 7cf02a6 --port 8080
	$ resin ssh 7cf02a6 -v

### Options

#### --port, -p &#60;port&#62;

ssh gateway port

#### --verbose, -v

increase verbosity

# Notes

## note &#60;|note&#62;

Use this command to set or update a device note.

If note command isn't passed, the tool attempts to read from `stdin`.

To view the notes, use $ resin device <uuid>.

Examples:

	$ resin note "My useful note" --device 7cf02a6
	$ cat note.txt | resin note --device 7cf02a6

### Options

#### --device, --d,dev, --d,dev &#60;device&#62;

# OS

## os download &#60;type&#62;

Use this command to download an unconfigured os image for a certain device type.

If version is not specified the newest stable (non-pre-release) version of OS
is downloaded if available, or the newest version otherwise (if all existing
versions for the given device type are pre-release).

You can pass `--version menu` to pick the OS version from the interactive menu
of all available versions.

Examples:

	$ resin os download raspberrypi3 -o ../foo/bar/raspberry-pi.img
	$ resin os download raspberrypi3 -o ../foo/bar/raspberry-pi.img --version 1.24.1
	$ resin os download raspberrypi3 -o ../foo/bar/raspberry-pi.img --version ^1.20.0
	$ resin os download raspberrypi3 -o ../foo/bar/raspberry-pi.img --version latest
	$ resin os download raspberrypi3 -o ../foo/bar/raspberry-pi.img --version default
	$ resin os download raspberrypi3 -o ../foo/bar/raspberry-pi.img --version menu

### Options

#### --output, -o &#60;output&#62;

output path

#### --version &#60;version&#62;

exact version number, or a valid semver range,
or 'latest' (includes pre-releases),
