CLI overview

The bino CLI drives the full report lifecycle: scaffold, iterate, build, inspect, and maintain. This page summarizes the main commands and links to detailed topics.

Global Flags

These flags are available on all commands:

• --verbose, -v – enable verbose logging and show the run ID.
• --no-color – disable colored output (also respects the NO_COLOR environment variable).

Lifecycle

A typical workflow looks like this:

1. bino init – scaffold a new report bundle.
2. bino add – create new DataSet and DataSource manifests interactively.
3. bino preview – iterate on layouts and data with a live browser preview.
4. bino build – validate manifests, execute datasets, and produce PDFs.
5. bino graph – inspect dependencies between artefacts, datasets, and datasources.
6. bino setup – install browser runtimes for rendering.
7. bino cache clean – clear caches when needed.
8. bino version and bino about – inspect version and dependency information.
