flyctl is a command-line interface for fly.io

Note: Most installations of flyctl also alias flyctl to fly as a command name and this will become the default name in the future. During the transition, note that where you see flyctl as a command it can be replaced with fly.

brew install flyctl

1. Sign into your fly account

fly auth login

2. List your apps

fly apps list

3. View app status

fly status -a {app-name}

flyctl will attempt to use the app name from a fly.toml file in the current directory. For example, if the current directory contains this file:

$ cat fly.toml
app: banana

flyctl will operate against the banana app unless overridden by the -a flag or other app name setting in the command line.

flyctl is automatically released at 3 PM Eastern Standard Time Monday - Thursday. If needed, you can bump a release by running ./scripts/bump_version.sh.

There is a simple Powershell script, winbuild.ps1, which will run the code generation for the help files, format them, and run a full build, leaving a new binary in the bin directory.
