CLI Overview
The siteknock CLI is the command-line tool for managing SiteKnock workspaces, projects, apps, locales, Studio, and licenses.
What the siteknock CLI is
The siteknock CLI is the command-line companion to Studio. Use it to scaffold projects, manage apps and locales, run Studio, verify licenses, and download the knowledge base. Everything it does is also available in Studio's visual UI — pick whichever fits your workflow.
