Global Flags

Global flags apply to every CLI command. Use them to control output format, override authentication, and enable debug logging.

Flag reference

Flag	Short	Type	Default	Description
`--output`	`-o`	string	`table`	Output format: `table`, `json`, or `yaml`
`--api-token`	—	string	—	Override API token for this command
`--api-url`	—	string	`https://api.devhelm.io`	Override API base URL
`--verbose`	`-v`	boolean	`false`	Enable debug logging
`--help`	—	boolean	—	Show help for any command
`--version`	—	boolean	—	Show CLI version

The deploy command uses its own output flag with values text and json (not table/yaml). See deploy commands for details.

Human-readable columns, suitable for terminal use:

devhelm monitors list

 ID  Name             Type  Status  Frequency
 42  API Health       HTTP  UP      60s
 43  Marketing Site   HTTP  UP      300s

Machine-readable output for scripting:

devhelm monitors list -o json

Pipe to jq for filtering:

devhelm monitors list -o json | jq '.[].name'

Useful for generating config-as-code snippets:

devhelm monitors get 42 -o yaml

Enable debug logging to see API request and response details:

devhelm monitors list --verbose

This prints the HTTP method, URL, headers, and response status for each API call. Useful for troubleshooting authentication or network issues.
