Command-line tool for working with machinepacks and machines.

Usage

Note that you'll also want to grab the Yeoman generator

You should check out http://node-machine.org/implementing for an in-depth tutorial, but here are a few highlights:

# open generated manpage on node-machine.org in your browser of choice
mp browse

# run a machine
# (theres an interactive prompt- you'll get to choose from a list, then be prompted to provide values for required inputs)
# (supports json entry and validation, re-running using command-line flags, and protects inputs marked as "protected" so they don't show up in your bash history)
mp exec

# clean everything up: (re)scaffold JSON test files, (re)generate readme using latest metadata, make sure repo url is in package.json, etc.
mp scrub

# list machines (useful for remembering wtf you're doing)
mp ls

# add new machine w/ identity="do-some-stuff" and start interactive prompt to get the rest of the necessary info
mp add do-some-stuff

# copy machine (useful for quickly creating similar machines)
mp cp foo bar

# rename machine (useful for fixing misspellings)
mp mv initiate-denk-party initiate-dance-party

This CLI tool is just sugar on top of the machine specification. That said, it helps a lot, and if you're building a pack, I highly recommend checking it out.
