# capwrap-cli

> capwrap-cli brings every Capwrapper dashboard action to your terminal — trigger builds, deploy to app stores, check job status, and validate config.

`capwrap-cli` is Capwrapper's official command-line tool. It lets you trigger builds, deploy to the App Store and Google Play, check job status, and validate your configuration file — all without opening the dashboard. Every `capwrap` command maps 1:1 to a dashboard action, so you get the same capabilities in whichever environment you prefer to work in.

The CLI is particularly useful for teams that want to integrate Capwrapper into automated workflows. You can add it to a CI/CD pipeline so builds are triggered and deployed on every push, with no manual steps required.

## Prerequisites

Before installing, confirm your environment meets these requirements:
