The Buildkite CLI
The Buildkite CLI is a command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting directly with the Buildkite platform itself. This tool provides command line/terminal access to work with a subset of the Buildkite platform's features, as you normally would through its web interface.
Using the Buildkite CLI, you can manage Buildkite Agents and their configuration, work with a Buildkite pipeline's builds, control job execution, and manipulate its artifacts, along with several other actions.
Installation
The Buildkite CLI can be installed on all major platforms. Learn more about how to install the tool on your platform in Buildkite CLI installation.

Once you've installed the Buildkite CLI, you can start using it by typing bk, followed by its specific command at your command-line prompt. To learn more about the bk command's own comprehensive set of command categories, enter bk at the command prompt to see its list of available commands, as well as consulting the Command-line reference for more detailed information.
Configuration
The Buildkite CLI requires an API access token to interact with Buildkite and your Buildkite organizations. Learn more about how to configure these API access tokens in Buildkite CLI configuration.
