The Heroku CLI is used to manage Heroku apps from the command line. It is built using [oclif](https://oclif.io).

For more about Heroku see <https://www.heroku.com/home>

To get started see <https://devcenter.heroku.com/start>

Overview
========

This is the next generation Node-based Heroku CLI.  The goals of this project were to make plugins more flexible, remove Ruby as a runtime dependency, and make the CLI faster.

It has identical functionality to the old Ruby CLI. Under the hood, it is a modular CLI made up of node.js plugins.

For more on developing plugins, read [Developing CLI Plugins](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/developing-cli-plugins)

Developing
==========

This project is built with [lerna](https://lerna.js.org/). The core plugins are located in [./packages](./packages). 

After cloning the repo
1. Run `yarn` to install dependencies
2. Run `yarn build` to build the CLI. This will need to be re-run any time you make changes and want to test them locally.

To execute Heroku CLI commands locally, use `./bin/run <command>`. For example, to run the `heroku apps` command with your local code, run `./bin/run apps` from the root directory.

Testing
=======

Run all tests with `yarn test`.

## Debugging

Using WebStorm (from Jetbrains / IntelliJ), you can run/debug an individual test case.

- Create a new run/debug configuration
- Select the 'Mocha' type

Releasing
