This page lists every command in the anythink CLI with its arguments, options, defaults and an example. It's a lookup page. To install the CLI, sign in and work with profiles, start with Install and use the Anythink CLI.

In a usage line, <name> is a required argument, [name] is optional, and [options] means the flags in the table below it. Commands that take a project profile use the active profile unless you pass --profile.

Global options#

These work on every command.

Option	Type	Default	Meaning
`--profile <name>`, `-p <name>`	profile name	the active profile	Runs this one command against a named profile. It never changes the active profile. Works anywhere in the command line.
`-h`, `--help`	flag		Prints help for the CLI, a group or a command.
`-v`, `--version`	flag		Prints the CLI version.

--profile applies to commands that work on a project. The commands that use your platform session (signup, login, plans, accounts and projects) don't take a project profile.
