CLI Tools for Authors

The gopherbot binary is also a CLI utility. The most useful commands for authors and operators are:

• gopherbot --help
• gopherbot encrypt
• gopherbot decrypt
• gopherbot validate <path>
• gopherbot dump installed <path>
• gopherbot dump configured <path>
• gopherbot list
• gopherbot fetch <key>
• gopherbot version

Examples

Encrypt a secret:

gopherbot encrypt MyLousyPassword

Validate a robot repository:

gopherbot validate ~/robots/acme/custom

Dump the final merged robot config:

gopherbot dump configured robot.yaml

These commands are especially useful when configuration reload fails and you want to understand what the engine thinks the world looks like.
