Creating Projects from CLI

Create and configure DevOur projects directly from your terminal using the CLI.

Prerequisites

DevOur CLI installed and configured (CLI Setup)
Valid API key configured with devour setup-key

Create a Project

Interactive Mode

Run the create command without arguments to enter interactive mode:

devour create

You will be prompted to enter a project name.

Direct Creation

Provide the project name directly:

devour create "My Project"

Using a Config File

Create a project from a configuration file:

devour create --config devour.json

The CLI looks for devour.json, devour.yml, or devour.yaml in the current directory by default.

Configuration Files

Configuration files allow you to define project settings in advance and reuse them across environments.

JSON Format

Create a devour.json file:

{
  "name": "My Project",
  "stripePublicKey": "pk_test_...",
  "stripeSecretKey": "sk_test_...",
  "firebaseApiKey": "AIzaSy...",
  "firebaseAuthDomain": "my-project.firebaseapp.com",
  "firebaseProjectId": "my-project",
  "colorMain": "#3B82F6",
  "colorSecondary": "#10B981"
}

YAML Format

YAML format uses fewer characters than JSON, making it ideal for AI coding agents where token efficiency matters.

Create a devour.yml file:

name: My Project
stripePublicKey: pk_test_...
stripeSecretKey: sk_test_...
firebaseApiKey: AIzaSy...
firebaseAuthDomain: my-project.firebaseapp.com
firebaseProjectId: my-project
colorMain: '#3B82F6'
colorSecondary: '#10B981'

Configure Project Settings

Interactive Setup

Run the setup command to interactively configure settings:

devour setup

Select a project, then navigate through available settings to update them.

Setup with Project ID

Configure a specific project directly:

devour setup <projectId>

Setup from Config File

Apply settings from a configuration file:

devour setup --config devour.json

If the config file contains a project ID, it updates that project. Otherwise, it prompts you to select or create a project.

Update a Single Setting

Update one setting at a time using key-value pairs:

devour setup --key colorMain --value "#3B82F6"

Or be prompted for the value:

devour setup --key stripePublicKey
