cb

A CLI for Crunchy Bridge with very good tab completion.

Installation

• For homebrew (on macOS or linux) brew install CrunchyData/brew/cb. This will install both cb and the fish shell tab completions for you.
• For others, download the latest release, put it somewhere in your path, and be sure to manually install shell tab completions from the completions directory.

Getting started

First login to your Crunchy Bridge account by running cb login.

$ cb login
Press any key to open a browser to login or q to exit:

If you'd prefer to use an API key then you can create one for your account and set the CB_API_KEY environment variable.

Note: If the CB_API_KEY environment variable is set, then cb login will not work until it is unset.

Usage

Once you are logged in, you can run cb list to see all of your clusters, and cb psql <cluster id> to securely connect to your database or cb scope to run health checks against it. There are many more commands that you can use to manage things such as log destinations, firewall rules, and more.

To see what commands are available run cb --help, and to see more detailed information for a given command add --help to it, for example cb create --help.

If you use the fish command line shell and have the completions installed for you (either automatically through homebrew or otherwise), nearly all arguments can be intelligently completed for you. This includes all cluster IDs available to just your account, in addition to normal subcommands and flags. Also where possible the current arguments you've given are taken into consideration. For example if you're creating a new cluster on AWS, instances sizes on Azure or regions in GCP will not be shown.

Development

Install dependencies: crystal

You can run quick checks by executing src/cli.cr directly. While this can be handy, it is slow because the executable is being built each time, then executed. To build a development version run make or shards build. The binary will be at bin/cb by default. There is a helper script dev_setup.fish which puts the local bin directory in your path so the cb in that directory will be ran, as well as an scb alias for running src/cli.cr. It will also set up completions for each.

crystal tool --format will format the code as required. It is useful to have your editor run this for you on save.

testing

You can run crystal spec to run all of the specs, or make test to also run linting checks.

nix

If you install nix, the included flake devShell will automatically have all dependencies, and you can simply run check to run all specs and linting.
