BigCommerce Stencil-CLI Environment Swap Tool
The Stencil CLI swap tool will allow you to quickly and effortlessly toggle between various BigCommerce store environments, by storing credentials and automating CLI commands.
Using the Tool
GENERATE Stencil credentials from your store's BigCommerce admin panel. Instructions on how to do that can be found here (follow instructions for Stencil-CLI).
Note: A different set of credentials is required for each environment
CONFIGURE the tool by initializing each environment with the stencil-swap init
command.
Available environments: dev, staging, uat, and prod
This command will do a few things:
-
Prompt you for the access token and hash for your BigCommerce environment.
-
Create the necessary directories for environment files, if not already present
-
Clone the config.json file from your project's root to an environment-specific config JSON file
MODIFY the environment by editing the respective config.json file found in the env/config
directory
