# `init`

The `init` command is used to initialize your project to tap into the live updates from our platform. This command creates a `keyshade.json` file in your project root. This file contains the following information:

## Usage

```bash
keyshade init [options]
```

## Options

These are the commands supported by the `init` command:

### `-w, --workspace <workspace>`

The workspace name whose updates you want to tap into.

### `-p, --project <project>`

The project name whose updates you want to tap into. Note that this project must be under the specified workspace.

### `-e, --environment <environment>`

The environment name whose updates you want to tap into. Note that this environment must be under the specified project.

### `-k, --private-key <key>`

The private key for the project+environment pair. This key is used to decrypt the secrets that are sent to your application.

### `-o, --overwrite`

This flag is used to overwrite the existing `keyshade.json` file in the project root. The default is `false`.

# Introduction

Our CLI is one of the major component of keyshade. The CLI is the entrypoint for your application to tap into the live updates from our platform. Whatever changes you make to your secrets or variables in your project, are reflected automatically in your application. Besides that, it also helps you to interact with the keyshade API.

## Commands

The CLI has the following commands:

- [profile](./profile.md): This command is used to create, delete, list and switch between profiles.
- [init](./init.md): This command is used to initialize your project to tap into the live updates from our platform.
- [run](./run.md): This command is used to run your application.

## Global flags

Global flags work with any command in the CLI. The following are the global flags:

### `--profile <profile>`

This flag is used to specify the profile to use. If not specified, the default profile is used. If you specify this flag, the [`--api-key`](#--api-key-key) flag and the [`--base-url`](#--base-url-url) flag are ignored.

### `--api-key <key>`

This flag is used to specify the API key to use. Won't work if the [`--profile`](#--profile-profile) flag is specified.

### `--base-url <url>`

This flag is used to specify the base URL of the API to use. Won't work if the [`--profile`](#--profile-profile) flag is specified. The default is `https://api.keyshade.xyz`.

# `profile`

The `profile` command is used to manage all the profiles in the CLI. A profile is a collection of configurations that are used to interact with the keyshade API. It has a set of subcommands:

- [`create`](#create): This command is used to create a new profile.
- [`update`](#update): This command is used to update the properties of an existing profile.
- [`delete`](#delete): This command is used to delete an existing profile.
- [`list`](#list): This command is used to list all the profiles.
- [`use`](#use): This command is used to set a default profile.

## Usage

```bash
keyshade profile <subcommand> [options]
```

## `create`

```bash
keyshade profile create [options]
```

### Options

These are the commands supported by the `create` command:

#### `-n, --name <name>`

#### `-b, --base-url <url>`

The base URL of the API to use with this profile. The default is `https://api.keyshade.xyz`.

#### `--set-default`

If set, this profile will be set as the default profile. Default is `false`.

## `update`

### Usage

```bash
keyshade profile update <profile> [options]
```

### Arguments

These are the arguments supported by the `update` command:

#### `<profile>`

The name of the profile to update.

### Options

description: The `run` command

# `run`

The `run` command is used to run your application. All the secrets and variables are injected into your application as environment variables. This command reads the `keyshade.json` file in your project root to get the necessary information.

## Usage

```bash
keyshade run <command> [options]
```

## Arguments

These are the arguments supported by the `run` command:

### `<command>`

The command to run your application. This command is run in the same shell as the `keyshade run` command.

## Options

The function accepts no local options. However, the global flags can be used with this command.

# How the CLI works

When developing the CLI, we ensured that we would prioritize ease of use and simplicity. We had the following goals in mind:

- **Secure by design**: We wanted to ensure that your secrets (API Keys and project private keys) are safe by default.
- **Easy to interpret and configure**: The configuration files that we use to make the CLI run are readable, lightweight and easy to understand.
- **Fast and efficient**: We wanted to ensure that the CLI is fast and efficient, so that you can get your work done quickly.

## The three main configuration files

When using our CLI, you would need to configure it first.

### Profile

This includes creating one or more [`profiles`](../cli/profile.md). A profile is a simple object that stores your API Key and the API base URL (Yes! We do give you the option to configure the base URL of the API).

The following is the TypeScript interface for a profile:

```typescript
interface ProfileConfig {
default: string
[name: string]: {
apiKey: string
baseUrl: string
}
}
```

All of your profiles are stored under `~/.keyshade/profiles.json`. You have the ability to have multiple profiles at once. The `default` key is used to specify the default profile that should be used when no profile is specified.

With this done, you can easily use any command to modify items on the platform.

### Project configuration

If you would like your application to tap into the live updates from our platform, you would need to [`init`](../cli/init.md) your project. This command creates a `keyshade.json` file in your project root. This file contains the following information:

```typescript
interface ProjectRootConfig {
workspace: string
project: string
environment: string
}
```

Note that, you can only tap into updates for any given trio of `project`, `environment` and `workspace`.

### Private Key

Perhaps the most important sensitive data in the entire application, we store the secret in a file named `private-keys.json` file under the `~/.keyshade` directory. This file contains key-value pairs of the project+environment name and the private key.

```typescript
interface PrivateKeyConfig {
[projectEnvironment: string]: string
}
```
