About CLI Reference

GC CLI, or gc, is a developer tool to help you build, test and manage your integration with GoCardless directly from your terminal.

Installation

  • To install the GC CLI with homebrew run:

    brew install gocardless/taps/cli

    After installing you should have a gc binary available now.

    In case `gc` is aliased to another command on your computer, homebrew also installs an alternate `gocardless` command that can be in place of `gc`. Try `gocardless version` for example.

  • To install the GC CLI on macOS without homebrew:

    1. Download the latest macOS tar.gz file from [https://github.com/gocardless/cli-releases/releases](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh)
    2. Unzip the file: tar -xvf cli_<version>_macOS_<arch>.tar.gz. <version> and <arch> will depend on which file you download.
    3. Move ./gc to a location where you can execute it globally (typically /usr/local/bin)
    The arm64 architecture is for the new M1 Macs, while the x86_64 architecture is for intel based Macs.

  • To install the GC CLI on Windows:

    1. Download the latest Windows zip file from [https://github.com/gocardless/cli-releases/releases](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh)
    2. Unzip the file: tar -xvf cli_<version>_Windows_<arch>.tar.gz. <version> and <arch> will depend on which file you download.

  • To install the GC CLI on linux without a package manager:

    1. Download the latest Linux tar.gz file from [https://github.com/gocardless/cli-releases/releases](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh).
    2. Unzip the file: tar -xvf cli_<version>_linux_<arch>.tar.gz. <version> and <arch> will depend on which file you download.
    3. Move ./gc to an execution location.

  • The GC CLI is also available as a Docker image.

    First set up a volume for the gc-cli container:

    docker volume create gc_config

    To login

    docker run -v gc_config:/.gc-cli -p 8080:8080 --rm -it gocardless/gc-cli:latest login

    To run commands

    alias gc="docker run -v gc_config:/.gc-cli --rm -it gocardless/gc-cli:latest"
gc [command]
