Cross-language commands for unified developer experience.
The DX Commands initiative aims to standardize development commands across various programming languages and framework, ensuring uniform commands for everyday tasks.
It establishes a "contract" for developers, ensuring that commands like build,
reset, and info consistently perform the same functions in every project.
| Command | Short description |
|---|---|
build |
Build or rebuild the project |
assemble |
Assemble a codebase using project code and all required dependencies |
provision |
Provision application within assembled codebase |
info |
Display project information |
lint |
Check coding standards for violations |
lint-fix |
Fix violations in coding standards |
test |
Run tests |
reset |

start |

logs |

The commands are usually implemented as a command wrapper using a shell script,
package configuration (e.g., package.json or composer.json), or a task
runner
Makefile, Ahoy,
or Task.
The example implementation of the commands is available in the .ahoy.yml file.
Check it out locally and run ahoy build to see how it works (you need to have
Ahoy installed):
$ ahoy build
