binary: nexla
docs: https://docs.nexla.com/dev-guides/nexla-cli

authentication:
  model: >-
    The CLI authenticates with the same Bearer session access token as the REST API. The docs direct
    users to obtain the root path (the Nexla UI instance URL) and an access token from the
    Authentication section, then run environment configuration.

commands:
- group: env
  description: Environment (Nexla instance) management
  subcommands:
  - name: env configure
    description: >-
      Configure a new environment. "Enter the new environment Name. This is simply the URL to your Nexla
      UI instance without the domain protocol."
  - name: env switch
    description: List available configured environments and switch the active one.
notes: >-
  The published CLI guide documents the install/verify/uninstall path and the `env` command group only.
  Resource-level commands (flows, sources, nexsets, credentials) are exercised in the tutorials — for
  example the flow-migration tutorial clones a development flow into production — but the docs do not
  publish a complete command reference, so no further commands are recorded here rather than guessed.
