Ruben Fiszel 0511af0a8a fix(cli): pass --branch override to workspace resolution
Previously, the --branch flag was only used for config resolution but
not for workspace resolution. This caused confusing log messages that
showed the git branch (e.g., master) before showing the override branch.

Changes:
- Add branchOverride parameter to tryResolveBranchWorkspace()
- Add branchOverride parameter to resolveWorkspace()
- Pass opts.branch from sync pull/push to resolveWorkspace()
- Log "Using branch override" early in workspace resolution
- Remove duplicate log from getEffectiveSettings()

Now when using --branch foobar, the logs show:
  Using branch override: foobar
  Applied settings for Git branch: foobar
  ...

Instead of the confusing previous output that mentioned both master
and foobar.

Windmill CLI

A simple CLI allowing interactions with windmill from the command line.

You can find more information in Windmill Docs

Installation

Install the wmill CLI tool using npm install -g windmill-cli.

Update to the latest version using wmill upgrade.

Workspaces

To get started run wmill workspace add or use the instructions from the workspace settings.

Running Flows & Scripts

Run a script or flow using wmill flow/script run u/username/path/to/script and pass any inputs using --data + Inputs specified as a JSON string or a file using @ <filename> or stdin using @-.

Curl-style syntax using -d @- for stdin or -d @<filename> is also supported.

Flow Steps and Logs will be streamed during execution automatically.

CLI input example

Pushing Resources, Scripts & More

The CLI can push specifications to a windmill instance. See the examples/ folder for formats.

Switch to a different workspace

wmill workspace switch <workspace_name>

Sync a workspace

Pull

wmill sync pull

Push

wmill sync push

We recommend using the --yaml option to use yaml instead of json as the encoding format. Yaml will be made the default soon.

Pushing individual files

You can push individual resources using wmill <type> push <file_name> \<remote_name\>. This does not require a special folder layout or file name, as this is given at runtime.

Listing

All commands support listing by just not providing a subcommand, ie wmill script will result in a list of scripts. Some allow additional options, learn about this by specifying --help.

User Management

You can add & remove users via wmill user add/remove, and list them using wmill user

Pulling

You can pull the entire workspace using wmill pull

Completion

The CLI comes with completions out of the box via wmill completions <shell>. (Via cliffy)

Bash

To enable bash completions add the following line to your ~/.bashrc:

source <(wmill completions bash)

Fish

To enable fish completions add the following line to your ~/.config/fish/config.fish:
