CLI

The CLI provides tools to create, build, and deploy projects using thirdweb tools and infrastructure. Using the CLI, you can create new projects with the SDK configured, build, publish and deploy smart contracts, generate types while developing, upload files to IPFS, and more.

Open Source

The CLI is open-source. You can view the source code and contribute to it on GitHub.

Install the CLI package globally to use the commands anywhere on your system.

Note: If you do not wish to install it globally, you can prefix each command with npx. i.e. npx thirdweb <command>.
