Cline CLI

A command-line interface for Cline, powered by Deno.

Installation

If you get a PATH warning during installation, add Deno's bin directory to your PATH:

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.deno/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc
source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc

cline <task> [options]

The CLI implements several security measures:

File Operations:
- Read/write access limited to working directory (--allow-read=., --allow-write=.)
- Prevents access to files outside the project
Command Execution:
- Strict allowlist of safe commands:
  - npm (install, run, test, build)
  - git (status, add, commit, push, pull, clone, checkout, branch)
  - deno (run, test, fmt, lint, check, compile, bundle)
  - ls (-l, -a, -la, -lh)
  - cat, echo
- Interactive prompts for non-allowlisted commands:
  - y - Run once
  - n - Cancel execution
  - always - Remember for session
- Clear warnings and command details shown
- Session-based memory for approved commands
Required Permissions:
- --allow-read=. - Read files in working directory
- --allow-write=. - Write files in working directory
- --allow-run - Execute allowlisted commands
- --allow-net - Make API calls
- --allow-env - Access environment variables

-m, --model <model> - LLM model to use (default: "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet")
-k, --key <key> - OpenRouter API key (required, or set OPENROUTER_API_KEY env var)
-h, --help - Display help for command

Analyze code:

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-...
cline "Analyze this codebase"

Create files:

cline "Create a React component"

Run allowed command:

cline "Run npm install"

Run non-allowlisted command (will prompt for decision):

cline "Run yarn install"
# Responds with:
# Warning: Command not in allowlist
# Command: yarn install
# Do you want to run this command? (y/n/always)

The CLI is built with Deno. Available tasks:

# Run in development mode
deno task dev "your task here"

# Install globally
deno task install

# Type check the code
deno task check
