CLI version 1.6 released

We are proud to announce the latest release (version 1.6.0) of the Platform.sh CLI.

To install or upgrade, you can use Composer:

composer global require 'platformsh/cli:1.*'

We have not written about the CLI for a while, so here are the new features we have added over the last month (since version 1.2):

• Command-line auto-completion: just press while typing a command, and the CLI will auto-complete command names, option names, project IDs and environment IDs. You will need to set this up by adding a couple of lines to your  .bashrc  (or equivalent) file - see the installation instructions for more information.
• There are three new commands for managing your environment’s variables:  platform variable:get ,  platform variable:set , and  platform variable:delete .
• A new  platform init  command - if you cloned your Platform.sh repository directly using Git, you can use this to set up a local project.
• A new  platform docs  command, to visit or search our documentation.
• A new  platform web  command to open the Web UI for the current project and/or environment.
• The command  platform ssh  can now accept a remote command to run on the server, for example  platform ssh 'tail -f /var/log/access.log' .

We have also made several bug fixes and stability improvements.

About the Platform.sh CLI

The Platform.sh CLI (command-line interface) is an easy and fast tool which helps you manage your Platform.sh projects from the command line. You can use it to administer projects and environments, and to help you build projects locally for development.

It is based on the Symfony Console Component, a flexible and widely used library for building PHP command-line applications. Naturally, it also relies on Git.
