🌸 NAME 🌸

c8y-binaries — Cumulocity binaries. That’s the name, that’s the vibe. 🦋

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

the shape of the command is literally this:

c8y binaries [flags]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This is the REST endpoint to interact with Cumulocity binaries. It’s giving “API, but make it a command-line bestie.” 🔥

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here are the local options for binaries itself — short list, still iconic:

• -h, --help[=false] — help for binaries. When you’re lost, this is the emotional support flag. 🫶
