This folder contains a CLI that implements a number of build tools used by dapr/components-contrib.

The CLI is written in Go and based on the cobra framework. In order to use it, Go (1.18+) must be installed on your system.

You have two ways to run the CLI:

1. Within the build-tools directory, you can run the CLI with go run . directly. For example go run . help shows the help page.
2. You can build a pre-compiled binary by running make compile-build-tools in the root folder of this repository. This will build an executable called build-tools (or build-tools.exe on Windows) in the build-tools folder. You can then run the command directly, for example ./build-tools help

The list of available commands in this CLI is dynamic and is subject to change at any time. Each command, including the "root" one (no sub-command), are self-documented in the CLI, and you can read the help page by adding --help.

For example, ./build-tools --help shows the full list of commands the CLI offers.
