NAME
gdcloud topic cli-trees - Supplementary help for CLI trees.
DESCRIPTION
CLI trees are static nested dictionaries that describe all groups, commands, flags, positionals, help text, and completer module paths for a CLI. A static CLI tree is often much faster to load and access than a CLI tree generated at runtime from an active CLI. It is also a more compact representation. A properly formed CLI tree can be used to reproduce the help documentation for an entire CLI.
CLI-Trees Data Files
A CLI tree is a dictionary stored in a JSON file. By convention, the file base name is the corresponding CLI name. For example, the CLI tree file name for the gdcloud CLI is gdcloud.json
.
CLI trees associated with gdcloud CLI modules are installed in the data/cli
subdirectory of the root of the unzipped gdcloud CLI bundle directory.
<UNZIPPED_CLI_DIR_PATH>/google-distributed-cloud-hosted-cli/data/cli/gdcloud.json
This file contains tree data for the gdcloud CLI. Note that the gdcloud CLI does not require this CLI tree to run.
