Hi folks, there’s an updated beta release v0.1.0-beta.1 that introduces some new features:
- You can create project from templates. DFINITY has a small set of templates that the tool uses by default, but you can also point it to your own template repository. See: GitHub - dfinity/icp-cli-templates: Templates for creating new icp-cli projects
- We introduced a new local network launcher. It is meant to keep a stable interface even as new versions of the replica are released. This means the cli tool will work with different versions of the network: GitHub - dfinity/icp-cli-network-launcher: Simplified CLI interface to pocket-ic setup
For now, you can install manually or for those of you on mac os you can install it with an experimental homebrew tap:
brew tap raymondk/icp-cli
brew install icp-cli
To see the new cli in action, check out this video: icp-cli with brew install - asciinema.org
What we’re working on next:
- Native support for docker based networks:
- This allows developers to easily use complex network setups for local development and share them across teams.
- Will allow us to release a windows native version of the cli
- Make the CLI installable through common package managers
As always, if you have feedback, we’re happy to hear it.
