Netlify CLI

Command-line interface for the Netlify hosting platform, used to deploy sites, run a local dev server and manage site settings.

Netlify CLI is a TypeScript command-line client for the Netlify hosting platform, installed with npm or Homebrew. It deploys a project to Netlify and runs a local development server, Netlify Dev, so a site can run on the developer’s machine before it is deployed. The command reference also lists commands that provision and use hosted services, such as a Postgres database, agent tasks and Netlify Blobs. The source is published on GitHub by Netlify, Inc., which is based in San Francisco.

Worth knowing

Several commands act on the hosted Netlify platform, which is outside this record. The get-started guide names an older Node.js minimum than the package declares, so the package’s own requirement is the one recorded.
