CLI App

Main CLI application entry point.

Main CLI application entry point.

This module defines the qsh command-line application, its top-level callback, and a set of built-in commands. Plugins are discovered and loaded lazily to keep startup fast.

Examples: Running the CLI and showing help::

    qsh --help

Starting the REPL with a specific context and JSON output::

    qsh --context prod --output json repl

Printing shell completion for zsh::

    qsh completion zsh > ~/.zsh/completions/_qsh

OutputFormat

Bases: str, Enum


              flowchart TD

              click qsh.cli.app.OutputFormat href "" "qsh.cli.app.OutputFormat"
            

Output format options for the CLI.
