With the CLI
Install the CLI
It can can be installed with homebrew by running:
brew install CrunchyData/brew/cb
You can update to newer versions with:
brew upgrade cb
You can also find packaged releases available on GitHub
Tab completion
The Crunchy Bridge CLI offers tab completion so you can easily find the syntax for line completion. The CLI works best when used with the Fish (Friendly Interactive Shell) shell.
Authentication and API keys
The CLI will connect to your Bridge account via an API key. You can create and access API keys in your Account Settings. You’ll need to create an API key before you can login to the CLI for the first time. This API key will remain part of your account until you delete it.
After creating your API key, run:
cb login
Paste the application ID and application secret into the terminal when prompted. To confirm that you are logged in, or to see your username, run cb whoami.

For example:
cb create --platform aws --plan standard-8 --region us-east-2 --ha false --storage 100 -t fb545b7f7jfbhfrrdnnupz6qvm
Which would produce something like:
Created cluster vz72xkaswnbhpaxddxzfhzgimq "Cluster 2021-10-19 15_02_09"
Or to create a replica:
cb create --platform aws --plan hobby-2 --region us-east-2 --ha false --storage 10 --replica vz72xkaswnbhpaxddxzfhzgimq --team fb545b7f7jfbhfrrdnnupz6qvm
Which would produce:
Created cluster ojmu5tgjj5cn5gm763oto6irf4 "Replica of Cluster 2021-10-19 15_02_09"
