Shorebird CLI
🚧 This project is under heavy development 🚧
❗️ Currently, only Android release builds are supported but we are working on expanding to other platforms/architectures.
The Shorebird command-line allows developers to interact with various Shorebird services. We're currently focusing on CodePush but the Shorebird CLI will continue to expand as we add more capabilities.

Run
Run an existing application using the Shorebird Engine via the shorebird run command:

❗️Note: If it's the first time using shorebird, shorebird run will download and build the shorebird engine which may take some time. The shorebird engine will be cached for subsequent runs.
Release
Builds and submits your app to Shorebird. Shorebird saves the compiled Dart code from your application in order to make smaller updates to your app.
# 1. Generate a release build.
# 2. Create a release in Shorebird
