# Bitwarden Command-line Interface
|
|
|
|
[](https://help.bitwarden.com/article/cli/#download--install)
|
|
|
|
The Bitwarden CLI is a powerful, full-featured command-line interface (CLI) tool to access and manage a Bitwarden vault. The CLI is written with TypeScript and Node.js and can be run on Windows, macOS, and Linux distributions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Download/Install
|
|
|
|
You can install the Bitwarden CLI multiple different ways:
|
|
|
|
**NPM**
|
|
|
|
If you already have the Node.js runtime installed on your system, you can install the CLI using NPM. NPM makes it easy to keep your installation updated and should be the preferred installation method if you are already using Node.js.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g @bitwarden/cli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Native Executable**
|
|
|
|
We provide natively packaged versions of the CLI for each platform which have no requirements on installing the Node.js runtime. You can obtain these from the [downloads section](https://help.bitwarden.com/article/cli/#download--install) in the documentation.
|
|
|
|
**Other Package Managers**
|
|
|
|
- [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/packages/bitwarden-cli)
|
|
```powershell
|
|
choco install bitwarden-cli
|
|
```
|
|
- [Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/bitwarden-cli)
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install bitwarden-cli
|
|
```
|
|
- [Snap](https://snapcraft.io/bw)
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo snap install bw
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
The Bitwarden CLI is self-documented with `--help` content and examples for every command. You should start exploring the CLI by using the global `--help` option:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bw --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This option will list all available commands that you can use with the CLI.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can run the `--help` option on a specific command to learn more about it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bw list --help
|
|
bw create --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Detailed Documentation**
|
|
|
|
We provide detailed documentation and examples for using the CLI in our help center at https://help.bitwarden.com/article/cli/.

|
## Build/Run
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v16.13.1.

|
|
|
|
**Run the app**

## Prettier
|
|
|
|
We recently migrated to using Prettier as code formatter. All previous branches will need to updated to avoid large merge conflicts using the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Check out your local Branch
|
|
2. Run `git merge ec53a16c005e0dd9aef6845c18811e8b14067168`
|
|
3. Resolve any merge conflicts, commit.
|
|
4. Run `npm run prettier`
|
|
5. Commit
|
|
6. Run `git merge -Xours 910b4a24e649f21acbf4da5b2d422b121d514bd5`
|
|
7. Push
|
|
|
|
### Git blame
|
|
|
|
We also recommend that you configure git to ignore the prettier revision using:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs
|
|
```
