Magento Cloud CLI reference

The Magento Cloud CLI is the utility for managing Magento Cloud projects and environments, which implements many features of the Project Web UI and more. This utility provides an advanced management interface for developers, DevOps and system administrators, for doing routines and automation tasks. You can install and use this utility for all Magento Commerce Cloud Starter and Pro Integration environments. You cannot use these commands for the Pro Staging and Production environments which aren’t listed in the cloud UI.

You can install the Magento Cloud CLI when setting up your local environment for development:

• Install Magento prerequisites
• Enable SSH keys

To list all available commands:

1
magento-cloud list

Magento designed these commands to manage Cloud Integration environments. It is a best practice to run the Magento Cloud CLI from a project directory, because you can omit the -p <project ID> parameter.

To log in to a project:

1
magento-cloud login

To clone a project to a directory:

1
magento-cloud project:get <PROJECT_ID> <DIRECTORY> -e <ENVIRONMENT_ID>

If you want to clone the master environment, omit the -e <ENVIRONMENT_ID> parameter.

To list the environments in the current project:

1
magento-cloud environment:list

The magento-cloud environment:list command displays environment hierarchies, whereas git branch does not. If you have any nested environments, use the magento-cloud environment:list command.

Git commands

You may notice that some of these commands are similar to Git commands. The magento-cloud Git commands directly connect to the Magento Git-based Cloud project with additional features. For example, when you push a Git branch, it is not activated until you access GitHub. The Magento CLI command includes activation.

To push an empty commit and force a redeployment:

1
git commit --allow-empty -m "redeploy" && git push <BRANCH_NAME>

Some actions, such as adding a user, do not result in deployment.

To create a new branch:

1
magento-cloud environment:branch <NAME> <PARENT_BRANCH>

Environment commands

The environment name is different from the environment ID only if you use spaces or capital letters in the environment name. An environment ID consists of all lowercase letters, numbers, and allowed symbols. Capital letters in an environment name are converted to lowercase in the ID; spaces in an environment name are converted to dashes.

An environment name cannot include characters reserved for your Linux shell or for regular expressions. Forbidden characters include curly braces ({ }), parentheses, asterisk (*), angle brackets (< >), ampersand (&), percent (%), and other characters.

To check out an existing environment:

1
magento-cloud environment:checkout <ENVIRONMENT_ID>

To redeploy the environment:

Trigger a redeployment without using a push. You must verify and confirm the environment to redeploy. Do not use redeploy if there is a build in a pending state.

1
2
magento-cloud environment:redeploy
Are you sure you want to redeploy the environment <environment_name>? [Y/n]

To merge changes from environment to parent:

1
magento-cloud environment:merge -p <PROJECT_ID> -e <ENVIRONMENT_ID>

To synchronize with parent:

1
magento-cloud environment:synchronize -p <PROJECT_ID> -e <ENVIRONMENT_ID> {code|data}

To list variables for this environment:

1
magento-cloud variable:list

To set a value for an environment variable:

1
magento-cloud variable:set <VARIABLE_NAME> <VARIABLE_VALUE>

Common commands

The listed commands are for Magento Cloud CLI version 1.11.1 and later.
