lizard project

List, create, pause, resume, or delete projects.

Usage

lizard project list [flags]
lizard project create <name> [flags]
lizard project pause [project]
lizard project resume [project]
lizard project delete <project> [flags]

Subcommands

lizard project list

List your projects across all workspaces, or in one workspace with -w.

lizard project create <name>

Create a project. It does not link the current directory; use lizard init for that.

lizard project pause [project]

Pause every app and database in the project, and its running sandboxes. Services keep their URLs, passwords, settings and data. See lizard pause.

lizard project resume [project]

Resume the apps and databases you paused in the project, and the sandboxes that project pause paused.

lizard project delete <project>

Move a project to trash (alias rm). Only the project owner can delete it. Its services and databases stop; you can restore them from the trash in the dashboard for 3 days, after which Lizard deletes them for good.

Warning: Sandboxes have no trash. project delete deletes the project’s sandboxes, their volumes and their snapshots at once, and you can’t get them back.

delete needs the project named. It never falls back to the folder’s linked project or your account’s default project. Without an argument, pause and resume use the project linked to this folder or, in an unlinked folder, your account’s default project.
