Pipfile-CLI is a command line interface around the Pipfile API. It allows you to interact with a Pipfile without Pipenv.
The command line interface’s design is based on the three transformation functions, as described by Sam Boyer in his So you want to write a package manager piece:
- The user edits Pipfile to add and/or remove packages.
lock
resolves the abstract dependency set specified in Pipfile, and write the resulting concrete dependency set into Pipfile.lock.sync
installs the concrete dependency set specified by Pipfile.lock into the current environment (with pip).
Only sync
is implemented at the present time.
