We ship a new bitrise cli version on the second Tuesday of every month.
The new release will be available on the bitrise.io
virtual machines on the weekend after the CLI release,
unless we discover any serious bug / regression.

Read on to learn more about this month’s Bitrise CLI release and about the changes around bitrise tools and steps.

New version of Bitrise CLI (1.6.2)

plugin info command

bitrise-cli got a new command: bitrise plugin info

Prints infos about the specified installed bitrise plugin. You use the command’s --format flag to specify the output format (valid options: raw, json).

The command prints the following infos:

Name: PLUGIN_NAME
Version: PLUGIN_VERSION
Source: PLUGIN_SOURCE
Definition: PLUGIN_DEFINITION

plugin list command

bitrise plugin list command prints infos about the installed plugins, the command got a new flag: --format, which you can use to specify the output’s format (valid options: raw, json).

The command prints the same infos about the plugins as the new bitrise plugin info command.

plugin update command

In previous versions specifying the plugin’s name, to update, was required. From now, if you do not specify which plugin to update bitrise plugin update command will update every installed bitrise plugin.

plugin update command fix

From now bitrise plugin update prepares the new plugin version as a sandbox and once everything is downloaded to install the plugin, the cli just copies it to the plugins directory ($HOME/.bitrise/plugins).

export command fix

From now bitrise export command will print the command’s help, if required arguments/flags were not provided.

Bitrise temporary directory

This bitrise-cli version creates an exports a temporary directory: BITRISE_TMP_DIR (if it is not already set). This directory is dedicated to store temporary files, during the bitrise-cli commands.
