Command Reference¶

CmdBox is organized into six subcommands. Each handles a distinct area of functionality.

Subcommand	Description
`cmd`	Add, edit, search, and delete saved commands.
`var`	Add, edit, search, and delete saved variables.
`tag`	Add, edit, search, and delete tags.
`run`	Execute saved commands by alias.
`history`	View and re-run past command executions.
`settings`	View and edit your CmdBox configuration.
`init`	Set up shell integration to enable running commands in your current terminal session.

Running a Saved Command¶

The most common thing you will do in CmdBox is run a saved command. You do not need the run subcommand for this — just use the alias directly:

> cb git-graph

The run subcommand is available when you need more control over how a command executes, such as setting a working directory, passing environment variables, or previewing the resolved command before running it:

> cb run git-graph --cwd C:\Projects\myapp --verbose

See the run reference for the full list of options.

Getting Help¶

Every subcommand supports the --help flag, which displays its available options and usage directly in the terminal:

> cb --help
> cb cmd --help
> cb cmd add --help
