neonctl: A TypeScript repository from yaoyinnan

The Neon CLI supports numerous operations, such as authentication and management of Neon projects, branches, compute endpoints, databases, roles, and more.

The Neon CLI command name is neonctl. The GitHub repository for the Neon CLI is found here.

Install the Neon CLI

This section describes how to install the Neon CLI.

Prerequisites

Before installing, ensure that you have met the following prerequisites:

Node.js 16.0 or higher. To check if you already have Node.js, run the following command:
```
node -v
```
The npm package manager. To check if you already have npm, run the following command:
```
npm -v
```
If you need to install Node.js or npm, refer to instructions on the official nodejs page or use the Node version manager.

Install

To install the Neon CLI, run the following command:

npm i -g neonctl

Upgrade

To upgrade to the latest version of the Neon CLI, run the npm i -g neonctl command again.

Connect

Run the following command to authenticate a connection to Neon:

neonctl auth

The auth command launches a browser window where you can authorize the Neon CLI to access your Neon account. Running a Neon CLI command without authenticating with neonctl auth automatically launches the browser authentication process.

Alternatively, you can authenticate a connection with a Neon API key using the --api-key option when running a Neon CLI command. For example, an API key is used with the following neonctl projects list command:

neonctl projects list --api-key <neon_api_key>

For information about obtaining an Neon API key, see Authentication, in the Neon API Reference.

Configure autocompletion

The Neon CLI supports autocompletion, which you can configure in a few easy steps. See Neon CLI commands — completion for instructions.

Global options

Global options are supported with any Neon CLI command.

Option	Description	Type	Default
-o, --output	Set the Neon CLI output format (`json`, `yaml`, or `table`)	string	table
--config-dir	Path to the Neon CLI configuration directory	string	`/home/<user>/.config/neonctl`
--api-key	Neon API key	string	""
--analytics	Manage analytics	boolean	true
-v, --version	Show the Neon CLI version number	boolean	-
-h, --help	Show the Neon CLI help	boolean	-

-o, --output

Sets the output format. Supported options are json, yaml, and table. The default is table. Table output may be limited. The json and yaml output formats show all data.
```
neonctl me --output json
```
--config-dir

Specifies the path to the neonctl configuration directory. To view the default configuration directory containing you credentials.json file, run neonctl --help. The credentials file is created when you authenticate using the neonctl auth command. This option is only necessary if you move your neonctl configuration file to a location other than the default.
```
neonctl projects list --config-dir /home/dtprice/.config/neonctl
```
--api-key

Specifies your Neon API key. You can authenticate using a Neon API key when running a Neon CLI command instead of using neonctl auth. For information about obtaining an Neon API key, see Authentication, in the Neon API Reference.
```
neonctl <command> --api-key <neon_api_key>
```
--analytics

Analytics are enabled by default to gather information about the CLI commands and options that are used by our customers. This data collection assists in offering support, and allows for a better understanding of typical usage patterns so that we can improve user experience. Neon does not collect user-defined data, such as project IDs or command payloads. To opt-out of analytics data collection, specify --no-analytics or --analytics false.
-v, --version

Shows the Neon CLI version number.
```
$ neonctl --version
1.15.0
```
-h, --help

Shows the neonctl command-line help. You can view help for neonctl, a neonctl command, or a neonctl subcommand, as shown in the following examples:
```
neonctl --help

neonctl branches --help

neonctl branches create --help
```
