Apito CLI sync reference

Editions: Open Source · Free Cloud · Pro

The CLI manages accounts and syncs schema, functions, and content between projects. Honest limit: apito sync for schema stages a draft — it does not publish. Publish in Console.

Install

npm install -g @apito/cli
# or follow current install docs for your release
apito --version

Accounts

apito account create
# server URL + cloud sync key / token for that Engine

Point --to <account> at Cloud or self-hosted Engines.

Filesystem schema (Blueprints)

apito sync --from filesystem --to <account> --type schema --dir blueprints/<slug> --dry-run
apito sync --from filesystem --to <account> --type schema --dir blueprints/<slug> --yes

Then Console → Schema Changes → Publish. Seed with the blueprint’s node scripts/seed.mjs — content is not filesystem-synced.

Export:

apito sync --from <account> --to filesystem --type schema --dir ./export-dir

	Schema	Functions	Content
