Execute automated build, deployment, and maintenance tasks directly from the terminal.

CI/CD Workflow Integration

Run non-interactive validation checks in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or local pre-commit hooks.

Developer Environment Setup

Standardize local engineering workstations with single-binary utility commands.

Scripting & Pipeline Orchestration

Chain complex multi-stage scripts with reliable error reporting and exits.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install newrelic-cli using your package manager: `go install github.com/newrelic/newrelic-cli@latest`

2
