Documentation

README

Excerpt

EmDash CLI

The EmDash CLI (emdash or ec) manages EmDash CMS instances. Commands fall into two categories:

Local commands — work directly on a SQLite file, no running server needed: init, dev, seed, export-seed, auth secret
Remote commands — talk to a running EmDash instance via HTTP: types, login, logout, whoami, content, schema, media, search, taxonomy, menu

Authentication

Remote commands resolve auth automatically:

--token flag
EMDASH_TOKEN env var
Stored credentials from emdash login
Dev bypass (localhost only — no token needed)

For local dev servers, just run the command — auth is handled automatically. For remote instances, run emdash login --url https://my-site.pages.dev first.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
