License ------- [](#license) `clic` is licensed under the terms of the MIT license. See the [license.md](https://github.com/vierbergenlars/clic/blob/master/license.md) file for a full copy of the license. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Option 1: As a phar file (with phar-composer) [](#option-1-as-a-phar-file-with-phar-composer) The preferred way to install `clic` is with the [`phar-composer` tool](https://github.com/clue/phar-composer). You will first need to [install](https://github.com/clue/phar-composer/#install) phar-composer. It is a very useful tool that allows you to create runnable phar files from Composer packages. If you have phar-composer installed, you can run: ``` sudo phar-composer install vierbergenlars/clic ``` to have it build and install the phar file in your `$PATH`, which allows you to run it as `clic` from the commandline. Or you can run ``` phar-composer build vierbergenlars/clic ``` and copy the resulting phar file manually to where you want it. ### Option 2: As a phar file (download) [](#option-2-as-a-phar-file-download) If you do not want to install phar-composer, you can download the `clic.phar` file from the [latest release](https://github.com/vierbergenlars/clic/releases/latest). Don't forget to make the file executable with `chmod +x clic.phar` and move it somewhere within your `$PATH`. ### Option 3: As a global composer installation [](#option-3-as-a-global-composer-installation) `clic` can be installed with [composer](https://getcomposer.org). ``` composer global require vierbergenlars/clic ``` You can use this to install CLI utilities globally, all you need is to add the `COMPOSER_HOME/vendor/bin` dir to your `PATH` env var. COMPOSER\_HOME is `c:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Composer` on Windows and `/home//.composer` on unix systems. ### Option 4: From source [](#option-4-from-source) `clic` can also be installed by downloading and extracting [an archive](https://github.com/vierbergenlars/clic/archive/master.zip) or cloning the repository. Next, run a `composer install` within the application's directory to install dependencies. Finally, add the `bin/` folder to your `PATH`, or to symlink `bin/clic` to a folder in your `PATH`. Initial configuration --------------------- [](#initial-configuration) Initial configuration and setup of directories are set up with `clic config:init` Global configuration is stored in `~/.clic-settings.json` (or the file referred to with the `--config` option) More information about the file format is available in the [documentation](https://github.com/vierbergenlars/clic/tree/master/documentation/clic-settings.md), though you probably do not need to edit this file manually. Usage ----- [](#usage) You clone/extract *applications* from a repository or tarball. Then a script to complete the install and enter configuration parameters is launched as defined in the applications' `.cliconfig.json` file. The application may then be made publicly accessible by adding *vhost* that refers to the application. This is a symlink that has the applications' `web-dir` as target. This way files that should not be publicly accessible are kept out of the document root. ### Applications [](#applications) Commands to manipulate applications are available within the `application` namespace ``` application:add Add an existing application application:clone Create a new application from remote repository application:execute Executes application scripts application:extract Create a new application from an archive application:list Lists all applications application:override Changes the configuration file for an application application:remove Removes an application application:show Shows application information application:variable:get Shows variable value for an application application:variable:set Sets variable value for an application ``` Details are available in the [application section of the documentation](https://github.com/vierbergenlars/clic/tree/master/documentation/application.md) ### Vhosts [](#vhosts) Commands to manipulate vhosts are available within the `vhost` namespace. ``` vhost:add Add web-accessible entrypoint to an application vhost:disable Disables one or more vhosts vhost:enable Enables one or more vhosts vhost:fix Fixes one or more vhosts vhost:list Lists all vhosts vhost:remove Remove web-accessible entrypoint to an application vhost:show Shows vhost information ``` Details are available in the [vhost section of the documentation](https://github.com/vierbergenlars/clic/tree/master/documentation/vhost.md) ### Repositories [](#repositories) Ssh deploy keys for private repositories can also be managed with `clic`. They are available in the `repository` namespace. ``` repository:add Add deploy key to a repository repository:generate-key Generates deploy key to a repository repository:list Lists all repositories repository:remove Remove deploy key from a repository repository:show Shows repository information ``` Details are available in the [repository section of the documentation](https://github.com/vierbergenlars/clic/tree/master/documentation/repository.md) ### Configuration [](#configuration) All configuration parameters can be manipulated with the commands in the `config` namespace. These are low-level commands, most of the time higher-level commands are used to manipulate these values. ``` config:get Shows configuration value config:init Initialize configuration config:set Sets configuration values config:unset Removes configuration values ``` Details are available in the [config section of the documentation](https://github.com/vierbergenlars/clic/tree/master/documentation/config.md) License ------- [](#license-1) [MIT](https://github.com/vierbergenlars/clic/tree/master/license.md) ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 57% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity69 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
