Directus Template Cli
Apply "templates" to a new, empty Directus project.
Overview
Directus Template CLIA is an innovative command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to simplify the process of creating new Directus projects and managing templates. It provides an efficient and streamlined experience for developers, particularly useful for Proof of Concept (POC) projects, demo environments, and setting up new projects. With a focus on ease of use, this tool enables users to apply and extract template configurations seamlessly across various Directus instances.
However, while this tool provides significant benefits, it's important to approach its use in existing production environments with caution. Thorough testing and backup creation are essential to mitigate risks associated with template application.
