What it is and what it does
Pegasus CLI is a command-line interface for the SaaS Pegasus Django framework. It lets you create, configure, and manage Pegasus projects from the terminal instead of the web UI, push your codebase to GitHub with optional version upgrades, and scaffold new Django apps with optional HTMX-powered CRUD interfaces. Every command supports non-interactive flags (--set, --json, --no-upgrade), making it suitable for scripts, CI pipelines, and AI agent workflows.
The tool wraps the SaaS Pegasus API and local Django scaffolding logic. It depends on click for CLI structure, cookiecutter for app generation, pyyaml for config files, requests for API calls, and rich for formatted terminal output. It requires Python 3.10 or later and a Pegasus API key stored either in ~/.pegasus/credentials or via the PEGASUS_API_KEY environment variable.
Use it for
- Automate Pegasus project creation and configuration in CI/CD pipelines without manual web UI steps.
- Generate new Django apps with CRUD scaffolding and HTMX interfaces locally without boilerplate.
- Upgrade Pegasus versions across projects and push changes to GitHub as pull requests programmatically.
- Migrate legacy pg- CSS classes to Tailwind/DaisyUI equivalents across a project's templates and JavaScript.
- Integrate Pegasus project management into AI agent workflows or custom deployment scripts.
