ABP Studio CLI

ABP Studio CLI is a command line tool that extends ABP CLI by adding more commands to perform operations of ABP Studio features.

Installation

ABP Studio CLI is installed automatically when you install ABP Studio.

Commands

As ABP Studio CLI extends ABP CLI, all commands provided by ABP CLI is also valid for ABP Studio CLI. Here, is the list of additional commands before explaining their details:

  • new-solution: Generates a new solution based on the ABP Studio startup templates.
  • new-module: Generates a new module based on the given template.
