CLI overview
The CLI is the scriptable companion to the desktop app. Both run the same engine, share the same .overwire/ config, and write to the same run store.
overwire [options] [command]| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
init | Scaffold a flat .overwire/ config tree |
doctor | Health-check Node, the container engine, and your config |
parse | Parse a workflow YAML file and print its structure |
list | List workflows with their triggers and jobs |
lint | Lint a workflow file for common issues |
explain | Explain how Overwire would support a workflow without running it |
simulate | Print a simulated event payload |
run | Execute a workflow locally, mock by default |
chain | Run or inspect workflow-chain scenario sessions |
resolve | Fetch and parse an action’s action.yml |
seed-mocks | Write a mock contract for every uses: in a workflow |
status | Show latest workflow and check status for a ref or SHA |
history | List recent workflow runs for the current project |
cache | Inspect or clear the action cache |
Most commands accept --config-root <dir> to point at a .overwire/ directory outside the current working directory. When the config root is some/repo/.overwire, the project identity derives from some/repo.
