Conventions

quill is a robust and fully-featured configuration toolset with a simple convention for executing commands:

  $ quill <resource> <command>

for example:

  $ quill systems list

will list all system Resources in your current registry. The tool itself is designed to be self documenting via the quill help command. For example to learn what the systems list command does:

  $ quill help systems list
  info:   Welcome to quill
  info:   It worked if it ends with quill ok
  info:   Executing command help systems list
  help:   Lists all systems in the registry.
  help:   
  help:   quill list
  help:   quill systems list
  quill ok

Installation

  $ npm install quill-cli -g
