Windmill CLI

A simple CLI allowing interactions with windmill from the command line.

You can find more information in Windmill Docs

Installation

Install the wmill CLI tool using npm install -g windmill-cli.

Update to the latest version using wmill upgrade.

Workspaces

To get started run wmill workspace add or use the instructions from the workspace settings.

Running Flows & Scripts

Run a script or flow using wmill flow/script run u/username/path/to/script and pass any inputs using --data + Inputs specified as a JSON string or a file using @ <filename> or stdin using @-.

Curl-style syntax using -d @- for stdin or -d @<filename> is also supported.

Flow Steps and Logs will be streamed during execution automatically.

Pushing Resources, Scripts & More

The CLI can push specifications to a windmill instance. See the examples/ folder for formats.

Switch to a different workspace

wmill workspace switch <workspace_name>

Sync a workspace

Pull

wmill sync pull

Push

wmill sync push

We recommend using the --yaml option to use yaml instead of json as the encoding format. Yaml will be made the default soon.

Pushing individual files

You can push individual resources using wmill <type> push <file_name> \<remote_name\>. This does not require a special folder layout or file name, as this is given at runtime.

Listing

All commands support listing by just not providing a subcommand, ie wmill script will result in a list of scripts. Some allow additional options, learn about this by specifying --help.

User Management

You can add & remove users via wmill user add/remove, and list them using wmill user

Pulling

You can pull the entire workspace using wmill pull
