metal-cli-v0.6.0
The Packet CLI is now the Equinix Metal CLI.
metal init will now configure your token and default project. This saves time when running commands, like metal device list, which previously required the project UUID as an argument. This new config file sets the groundwork for other tools to take advantage of a default token, organization, and project ID. Any common argument, such as metro, device plan, or operating system, can be predefined in the config file.
Some arguments and the config file have changed (now ~/.config/equinix/metal.yaml). Notably, use -o json rather than -j, -o yaml rather than -y. Inconsistently used flags have been modified for more consistency. Use metal help and metal help [command] for detailed usage arguments.
This is a semver 0.x release. Check with the changelog when updating. More changes (including breaking changes) may be introduced on the way to 1.0.0.
