## New version of Bitrise CLI ([1.6.2](https://github.com/bitrise-io/bitrise/releases/tag/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:

```auto
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.
