What is cmd-example?

cmd-example is a starter template that shows you how to add your own custom command to Bit, a tool for organizing and sharing reusable code components. If you've ever wanted to extend what Bit can do by writing your own instructions for it, this repository gives you a basic pattern to copy and learn from. At a high level, it works by setting up a small program in TypeScript that Bit can recognize as an official command. Once you download it and run a couple of setup steps, telling Bit to compile the code and install any background dependencies it needs, you simply type "bit cmd-example" into your command line. If everything is wired up correctly, the program runs and prints "hello world" back to you on the screen. This is designed for developers and technical founders who already use Bit to manage their codebase but want to customize its behavior. For example, if your team has a repetitive workflow, like generating a specific file structure or running a custom deployment check, you could use this template as a starting point to build a command that automates that task directly inside Bit. The README is intentionally sparse, so it doesn't go into detail on the deeper mechanics of how Bit registers the command or how to pass arguments to it. Its main purpose is simply to prove the setup works and give you a functional foundation. The real value here is that it provides a known-good baseline, saving you from having to figure out the initial plumbing from scratch before you start building your actual custom logic.
