# Distributor CLI
## Shortest useful command
```sh
go run ./cmd/distributor run --config examples/local-to-local.yml --dry-run
```
This loads and validates the example config, then prints the resolved pipeline summary without publishing files.
## Command overview
```sh
distributor --help
distributor version
distributor run
distributor validate
distributor inspect
```
`version` prints the application name and version. The default development version is `dev`; release builds may replace it at build time.
`run --config <path> --dry-run` loads and validates configuration, then prints a concise summary of configured pipelines and destinations. It does not discover bundles or publish files yet.
`run` without `--dry-run`, `validate`, and `inspect` intentionally fail with a clear `not implemented` error until the corresponding application behavior exists.
## Flag reference
The root command supports:
- `--help`, `-h`: print root help.
Each subcommand supports:
- `--help`, `-h`: print command-specific help.
`run` supports:
- `--config <path>`: config file to load.
- `--dry-run`: validate config and print the resolved summary without publishing.
## Common workflows
Validate a config file without publishing:
```sh
go run ./cmd/distributor run --config examples/local-to-local.yml --dry-run
```
