# DuploCtl CLI

Using the DuploCloud CLI locally and in CI/CD pipelines

## DuploCtl Overview

[DuploCtl](https://cli.duplocloud.com/) is more than just a tool; it's the backbone of DuploCloud’s [CI/CD](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/introduction-to-ci-cd) ecosystem and the source of all DuploCloud-supported CI/CD tools. If you're a DuploCloud user working in a [CI/CD](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/introduction-to-ci-cd) environment, DuploCtl is your central access point to leverage the strengths and features of multiple CI/CD tools and manage your workflows in a unified way.

By giving you the flexibility to interact with the DuploCloud API directly from your local terminal, [DuploCtl ](https://cli.duplocloud.com/)allows you to execute commands locally with precision and control. For those looking to push the boundaries of automation, DuploCtl's Python-based framework provides the tools you need to create custom integrations and automation tailored to your unique needs.

[DuploCtl](https://cli.duplocloud.com/Home/) is a versatile and powerful tool that enhances cloud management, development efficiency, and process automation. With DuploCtl, you're not just interacting with the cloud but taking command of it.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/automation-and-tools/duploctl.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
