CLI Outline

The dagger command-line interface provides users with a convenient way to interact with the Dagger system. It offers a range of options and commands for managing and executing Dagger tasks. This outline aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the CLI’s structure, its syntax, and how it interacts with the underlying logic.

Usage

The general usage of the dagger CLI follows this pattern:

dagger <command> [options]
          

Where:

  • <command>: The specific action to perform.
  • [options]: Optional arguments that modify the behavior of the command.

Commands

The dagger CLI supports various commands to interact with the system. These are some of the primary commands:

  • dagger run: This command is used to execute a Dagger task.
  • dagger list: This command lists available tasks within the project.
  • dagger config: Used to manage configuration options.
  • dagger help: Displays general help information and instructions.
  • dagger version: Shows the current version of the dagger tool.

Options

The dagger CLI provides various options that modify the behavior of its commands. These options can be specified with a hyphen (-) or a double hyphen (–). Some of the common options include:

  • -h, --help: Displays help information for the command.

  • -v, --verbose: Increases verbosity of the output.

  • -q, --quiet: Decreases verbosity of the output.

  • -c, --config: Specifies the path to a configuration file.

Example Usage

Here are some examples demonstrating the use of dagger commands with options:

  • Execute a specific task with verbose output:
dagger run -v my_task
          
  • List available tasks and display help information:
dagger list -h
          
  • Run a task using a custom configuration file:

  • Get version information about the dagger CLI:
