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 registry add - pull in predef packages from a registry.
4. bino preview - iterate on layouts and data with a live browser preview.
5. bino build - validate manifests, execute datasets, and produce PDFs.
6. bino graph - inspect dependencies between artefacts, datasets, and datasources.
7. bino setup - install browser runtimes for rendering.
8. bino cache clean - clear caches when needed.
9. bino version and bino about - inspect version and dependency information.
