Bit CLI Quick Reference

usage: bit [--version] [--help] []

bit documentation: https://bit.dev/

System & Utility help display available commands and usage information version display the installed Bit version config manage Bit configuration settings globals display global directories and paths used by Bit system access system-level operations and debugging tools doctor diagnose and troubleshoot workspace issues clear-cache remove cached data to resolve stale data issues

Information & Analysis show display component metadata, dependencies, and configuration graph visualize component dependencies as a graph image pattern test and validate component patterns list display components in workspace or remote scope diff compare component changes between versions or against the current workspace status show workspace component status and issues schema display component API schema and type definitions

Component Configuration envs show components and their assigned environments scope manage component scope names and assignments eject-conf create component.json configuration files for components local-only manage components that exist only in the workspace aspect manage component aspects and their configurations

Collaboration & Remote remote manage remote scopes for self-hosted environments deprecate mark a component as deprecated to discourage its use undeprecate remove the deprecation status from a component import bring components from remote scopes into your workspace delete soft-delete components from remote scopes recover restore soft-deleted components export upload components to remote scopes lane manage lanes for parallel development ci continuous integration commands for automated workflows fork create a new component by copying from an existing one

Run & Serve start launch the Bit development server run start an application component locally app manage application components

Advanced/Debug capsule manage isolated component environments mcp-server start Model Context Protocol server for AI assistants

Develop components script run a script defined by the environment

Workspace Tools ws-config generate IDE configuration files git Git utilities for Bit repositories refactor automatically refactor component source code

Component Development add track existing directory contents as new components in the workspace create scaffold new component(s) from a template (sources, config, and env) templates list available templates for creating components and workspaces watch watch and compile components on file changes build run build pipeline tasks in isolated environments compile transpile component source files move relocate a component to a different directory remove untrack components from the workspace rename change a component name

Workspace & Project Setup new create a new Bit workspace from a template init initialize a Bit workspace in an existing project

Testing & Quality artifacts view and download build artifacts test run component tests check-types validate TypeScript type correctness lint analyze component code for issues and style violations validate run type-checking, linting, and testing in sequence format auto-format component source code

Dependencies & Packages install install workspace dependencies uninstall remove dependencies from workspace update update workspace dependencies to newer versions link create links between components and node_modules eject remove component from workspace and install it as npm package deps manage component dependencies why find components that use the specified dependency set-peer configure component to always be installed as peer dependency unset-peer remove always-peer configuration from component dependents show components that depend on the specified component

Version Control checkout switch between component versions or remove local changes revert replace component files with specified version while preserving current version tag create immutable component snapshots with semantic version tags snap create immutable component snapshots for development versions reset revert local tags and snaps to previous versions merge merge diverged component history when local and remote have different versions stash temporarily save and restore component changes log display component version history log-file EXPERIMENTAL. display history of changes to a specific file blame EXPERIMENTAL. show line-by-line authorship and modification history

Authentication & Cloud login authenticate with Bit Cloud for component publishing and collaboration logout sign out of Bit Cloud and clear authentication tokens whoami display the currently authenticated Bit Cloud user npmrc configure .npmrc file with Bit Cloud registry and authentication settings

Dot-bit sign complete the build process for components
