Encryption

All HTTP requests made between your machine and Gigalixir’s servers are encrypted.

Conventions

  • No news is good news: If you run a command that produces no output, then the command probably succeeded.
  • Exit codes: Commands that succeed will return a 0 exit code, and non-zero otherwise.
  • stderr vs stdout: Stderr is used for errors and for log output. Stdout is for the data output of your command.

Authentication

When you login with your email and password, you receive an API key.

This API key is stored in your ~/.netrcfile. Commands generally use your ~/.netrc file to authenticate with few exceptions.

Error Reporting

Bugs in the CLI are reported to Gigalixir’s error tracking service. Currently, the only way to disable this is by modifying the source code.

Pull requests are also accepted!
