# CLI Overview

> Introduction to the Lyger Framework command-line interface (rawr)

The Lyger Framework includes a powerful command-line interface tool called **rawr** that helps you quickly scaffold and manage your application.

## Getting Started

The CLI tool is accessed through the `rawr` file in your project root:

```bash theme={null}
php rawr <command> [arguments] [options]
```

<Info>
  The rawr CLI is designed for rapid development with zero configuration required. All commands work out of the box.

php rawr <command> <name> [--options]
```

<ParamField path="command" type="string" required>
  The action to perform (e.g., `serve`, `make:controller`, `migrate`)
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="name" type="string">
  The name of the resource to create (for make commands)
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="options" type="flags">
  Additional flags to modify command behavior (e.g., `--migration`, `--port=8080`)
</ParamField>

## Common Options

### Port Configuration

Many commands support custom port configuration:

```bash theme={null}
php rawr serve --port=8080
```

### Migration Flag

When creating models, you can automatically generate a migration:

```bash theme={null}
php rawr make:model User --migration
```

## Quick Examples

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Start Server theme={null}
  php rawr serve
  ```

  ```bash Create Controller theme={null}
  php rawr make:controller UserController
  ```

  ```bash Create Model with Migration theme={null}
  php rawr make:model Product --migration
  ```

  ```bash Run Migrations theme={null}
  php rawr migrate
