usage

Windows users must use CMD.exe or POWERSHELL

This is an upstream "restriction" imposed on us by NodeJS. Other shells besides cmd.exe and ps.exe may work but have > not been tested. If your shell does not work you will likely see an error message like the input device is not a TTY.

See https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3006.

Global vs. App context

If you are in a directory (or subdirectory) that contains a .lando.yml file there is no need to pass in [appname] as an argument to commands like lando restart.

Examples

# Display usage
lando

# Initialize a lando app from github
lando init github

# Get config with some verbosity
lando config -- -vv

# Start an app while inside of an app directory
lando start

# Stop an app from anywhere
lando stop myapp

# Get help on init
lando init -- --help

# Non-interactively destroy an app called myapp with max verbosity
lando destroy myapp -y -- -vvvv

# Run a php command against myapp's appserver container
lando ssh myapp appserver -c "php -i"

# Run a composer command (assumes this command is defined in your .lando.yml)
lando composer install

Tooling Commands

Each app may implement special kinds of tooling commands that are only available while in that app context. These commands are usually wrappers for development tools like lando composer or lando artisan or lando npm.

Run lando inside of an app to see if it offers any app specific tooling options.

Usage: lando <command> [args] [options] [-- global options]

Commands:
  composer                 Run composer commands
  config                   Display the lando configuration
  destroy [appname]        Destroy app in current directory or [appname]
  info [appname]           Prints info about app in current directory or [appname]
  init [method]            Initialize a lando app, optional methods: github, pantheon
  list                     List all lando apps
  logs [appname]           Get logs for app in current directory or [appname]
  mysql                    Drop into a MySQL shell
  php                      Run php commands
  poweroff                 Spin down all lando related containers
  rebuild [appname]        Rebuilds app in current directory or [appname]
  restart [appname]        Restarts app in current directory or [appname]
  share [appname]          Get a publicly available url
  ssh [appname] [service]  SSH into [service] in current app directory or [appname]
  start [appname]          Start app in current directory or [appname]
  stop [appname]           Stops app in current directory or [appname]
  version                  Display the lando version

Global Options:
  --help, -h  Show help
  --verbose, -v, -vv, -vvv, -vvvv  Change verbosity of output

You need at least one command before moving on

Global Options

Lando uses the -- separator for global options. The reason for this is we need a way to differentiate between options that might be intended for a subcommand eg lando drush --verbose vs global options that are for Lando itself. Consider the difference between lando npm install -v vs lando npm install -- -v. The former tells npm to give us verbose output whereas the latter tells lando to give us verbose output.

The following global options are available for every command.

Global Options:
  --help, -h  Show help
  --verbose, -v, -vv, -vvv, -vvvv  Change verbosity of output
