Installation and Setup

Welcome to the Code Accelerate CLI Tool installation guide. Follow these steps to install the Code Accelerate CLI tool on your Mac and set up the necessary access token for use.

Installing Code Accelerate​

To install Code Accelerate, open your terminal and execute the following command:

curl -sSL "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/cw-accelerator.appspot.com/o/cwa-installer.sh?alt=media" | sudo sh

Note for users without a password setup: If you encounter an error due to not having a password set up on your machine, please run the installation command without sudo as shown below:

curl -sSL "https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/cw-accelerator.appspot.com/o/cwa-installer.sh?alt=media" | sh

Setting Up Your Access Token​

After installation, you need to add a valid access token to use the Code Accelerate CLI tool. Without this token, the CLI will return an error indicating an invalid access token.

Generating a GitLab Access Token​

Follow these steps to generate a GitLab access token:

  1. Log in to your GitLab account.
  2. Navigate to your user settings.
  3. Click on "Access Tokens" in the sidebar.
  4. Choose a name for your token and select the appropriate scopes. For Code Accelerate, you might need read_repository access or more, depending on the tool's requirements.
  5. Click on the "Create personal access token" button.
  6. Save the generated token in a secure place. You won't be able to see it again!

Adding Your Access Token to Code Accelerate​

With your GitLab access token ready, add it to Code Accelerate by running the following command in your terminal:

cwa add-token {access_token}

Replace {access_token} with your actual GitLab access token.

Troubleshooting Access Issues:

If you've added your access token but still encounter access issues, it may be related to permissions on the GitLab repository. Ensure you have access to the necessary private repository. If problems persist, please contact the CLI Maintainer for further assistance.

Conclusion​

You're now ready to use Code Accelerate for your Flutter projects.
