Getting started with the CLI

[jainankit]

If you just heard about Aviator CLI and want to start using it, head over to Aviator's documentation for getting started help.

1. Install the CLI

For Mac

brew install aviator-co/tap/av

For other platforms

Download the latest av executable from the GitHub releases page on the av repository. Extract the archive and add the executable to your PATH.

2. Connect av to GitHub

The av tool uses a GitHub personal access token (PAT) to authenticate with GitHub on your behalf. This is required to create and inspect PRs (e.g., when using the av pr create command). The generated token should have the repo scope (all other scopes can be left un-checked).

Add the GitHub token to your av config file at ~/.av/config.yaml

3. Initialize your repository

Finally, in the repo where you want to use av, make sure to initialize the repository. From within your git repository, run the following command:

av init
