## Tea CLI

Are you tired of constantly switching between multiple tools to manage your projects, packages, and configurations? Do you wish there was a single, unified tool that could handle all of your development needs? Look no further than [Tea CLI](https://tea.xyz/tea-cli/) from [tea.xyz](https://tea.xyz/).

Tea CLI is a powerful command-line interface that helps developers manage all aspects of their projects. From creating a new project to deploying it, Tea CLI has got you covered. Let's take a closer look at some of the key features of Tea CLI and how to use them with Bash commands.

To get started with Tea CLI, you'll first need to install it on your system. Here's how you can do that using Bash:

```
curl -sL https://cli.tea.xyz/install.sh | bash
```

Once you have Tea CLI installed, you can create a new project using the **`create`**  command. This command will generate a new project template with all the necessary files and dependencies.

```
tea create my-project
```

Tea CLI also comes with a built-in package manager called **`teapm`**. With **`teapm`**, you can easily install, update, and remove packages from your project. Here's how you can use **`teapm`**  to install the **`lodash`**  package:

```
tea teapm install lodash
```

To run your project, you can use the **`run`**  command:

```
tea run
```

And to deploy your project, you can use the **`deploy`**  command:

```
tea deploy
```

Tea CLI also provides a variety of configuration options to help you customize your project. You can view and modify the current configuration with the **`config`**  command:

```
tea config
```

And you can set a specific configuration value using the **`set`**  command:

```
tea config set key value
```

These are just a few examples of what you can do with [Tea CLI](https://github.com/teaxyz/cli). With its powerful features and easy-to-use interface, Tea CLI is a must-have tool for any developer. So why not give it a try and see how it can streamline your workflow and make your life easier?
