description	MUST consult before running ANY bit command. Do NOT guess bit commands from memory. This skill tells you the right command, correct syntax, subcommands, and flags.

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 Subcommands: set, del, get, list globals - display global directories and paths used by Bit system - access system-level operations and debugging tools Subcommands: log, tail-log doctor [diagnosis-name] - diagnose and troubleshoot workspace issues clear-cache - remove cached data to resolve stale data issues

Workspace commands details - show expanded details from the last command that provided them (e.g. tag, snap)

Information & Analysis show - display component metadata, dependencies, and configuration cat - print source files or config of a component at a specific version graph [id] - visualize component dependencies as a graph image pattern - test and validate component patterns list [remote-scope] - display components in workspace or remote scope search <query...> - search for components by keyword in the local workspace and remote bit cloud schema - display component API schema and type definitions Subcommands: diff diff [component-pattern] [version] [to-version] - compare component changes between versions or against the current workspace status - show workspace component status and issues

Component Configuration envs - show components and their assigned environments Subcommands: list, get, set, unset, replace, update scope - manage component scope names and assignments Subcommands: set, trust, rename, rename-owner, fork eject-conf - create component.json configuration files for components local-only - manage components that exist only in the workspace Subcommands: set, unset, list aspect - manage component aspects and their configurations Subcommands: list, list-core, get, set, unset, update

Collaboration & Remote remote - manage remote scopes for self-hosted environments Subcommands: add, del, list ripple - manage Ripple CI jobs on bit.cloud Subcommands: list, log, errors, retry, stop deprecate - mark components as deprecated to discourage their use undeprecate - remove the deprecation status from components import [component-patterns...] - bring components from remote scopes into your workspace delete - soft-delete components from remote scopes recover - restore soft-deleted components export [component-patterns...] - upload components to remote scopes lane [sub-command] - manage lanes for parallel development Subcommands: list, show, create, remove, change-scope, alias, rename, remove-readme, import, remove-comp, fetch, eject, current, history, history-diff, checkout, revert, merge-move ci - continuous integration commands for automated workflows Subcommands: verify, pr, merge, sync fork [target-component-name] - create a new component by copying from an existing one internalize [component-pattern] - mark components as internal to hide them by default in the UI

Run & Serve start [component-pattern] - launch the Bit development server run [app-name] - start an application component locally app [sub-command] - manage application components Subcommands: list, run

Advanced/Debug capsule - manage isolated component environments Subcommands: list, create, delete, prune mcp-server [sub-command] - start Model Context Protocol server for AI assistants Subcommands: start, setup, rules

Develop components script [script-name] - run a script defined by the environment

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 [sub-command] - configure .npmrc file with Bit Cloud registry and authentication settings Subcommands: generate

Workspace Tools ws-config - generate IDE configuration files Subcommands: write, clean, list git - Git utilities for Bit repositories Subcommands: set-merge-driver refactor - automatically refactor component source code Subcommands: dependency-name

Component Development add [path...] - track existing directory contents as new components in the workspace create <component-names...> - 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 [component-pattern] - run build pipeline tasks in isolated environments compile [component-names...] - 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 [path] - initialize a Bit workspace in an existing project

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

Dependencies & Packages install [packages...] - install workspace dependencies uninstall [packages...] - remove dependencies from workspace update [package-patterns...] - update workspace dependencies to newer versions link [component-names...] - create links between components and node_modules eject - remove component from workspace and install it as npm package deps - manage component dependencies Subcommands: get, remove, unset, debug, set, reset, eject, blame, usage, diagnose, circular, write 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 [component-pattern] - switch between component versions or remove local changes revert - replace component files with specified version while preserving current version tag [component-patterns...] - create immutable component snapshots with semantic version tags snap [component-pattern] - create immutable component snapshots for development versions reset [component-pattern] - revert local tags and snaps to previous versions merge [component-pattern] - merge diverged component history when local and remote have different versions stash - temporarily save and restore component changes Subcommands: save, load, list 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

IMPORTANT: When you need flags, arguments, or subcommand details, READ the file CLI_REFERENCE.md in this same directory using the Read tool. Only fall back to 'bit --help' if the reference file doesn't cover what you need.
