splitcli 0.2.0

Use Split.io from the command line

Welcome to the Split CLI 👋

---

NOTE: 9/24/2021 - A few months ago Split Skunkworks (aka developer advocacy) embarked on an experiment to create a command line interface (CLI) tool to provision and interact with Split accounts. The experiment was a success and we are now assessing putting formal engineering muscle behind it. For now, we are taking it offline until such time as we are ready to release a fully supported version.

---

The Split CLI is a Command Line Interface built to simplify onboarding, and make it easy to manage your entire feature flag lifecycle. The changes and updates you make to your splits through the CLI will be reflected immediately in the Split UI.

---

Throughout the CLI, to select an option, press the Enter/Return button on your keyboard unless otherwise noted.

Manage Splits

A split is another name for a feature flag, which allows you to separate code deployment from feature release. When you select Manage Splits from the Main Menu, you will see a list of the splits that are already in your organization, as well as the option to create a new split.

To create a new split, select Create a new split from the menu. You will then be prompted to enter a name for your split, as well as a description. Next, you will choose whether you want a simple rollout, which will give you the ability to turn a feature on or off in any environment, or a custom rollout, where you can have a custom set of treatments.

You will then choose which environment you wish to manage your split in.

To create a new segment, select Create a new segment from the menu. You will then be prompted to enter a name, and description for that segmented user group. Once that segment is created, you will see it listed in the Manage Segments menu. Select the segment you created, and choose which environment you wish to manage it in. Here is where we will soon be adding key management capabilities, stay tuned!

To delete a segment, navigate into the segment you wish to delete, and select Delete segment.
