Dev Center CLI

CLI to interact with Heroku's Dev Center

Installation

$ gem install devcenter

Usage

Open a published article

$ devcenter open error-pages

Save a local copy of an article

You can pull an article from its slug

$ devcenter pull article-slug

or from its URL:

$ devcenter pull https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/article-slug

This will save an article-slug.md text file in your local directory. The file includes some metadata (article title and id) followed by the article content in markdown format. You can edit both the title and the content, but never overwrite the article id.

Preview a local copy of an article

$ devcenter preview dynos

This will open a preview in your default browser and get it refreshed when you save the file. You can specify --port and --host options to customize the preview web server.

Update an article in Dev Center from a local file

$ devcenter push dynos

This will save the title and content from your local article in Dev Center, using your Heroku credentials from ~/.netrc, which you can set by doing heroku auth:login.
