Updates the docs structure, navigation etc to be easier + better suited for showing Nx technology support beyond just TS. **Notes:** - API (`/nx-api`) tab is removed from the navigation (i.e. menu bar), but pages still remain for now until we update references in `*.md` files. - Redirects are set up `/nx-api` to go to their respect new location e.g. `/technologies` or `/reference/core-api` - Old URLs still exist in the sitemap for now, but majority of them will be redirected -- a follow-up PR can remove them. **Preview:** https://nx-dev-git-nx-dev-polyglot-docs-restructure-nrwl.vercel.app/docs --------- Co-authored-by: Jack Hsu <jack.hsu@gmail.com>

title: Nx Commands
|
|
description: A comprehensive reference of all available Nx CLI commands for modifying code, running tasks, displaying information, and integrating with Nx Cloud.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
# Nx Commands
|
|
|
|
The Nx CLI provides many commands. They are organized here into commands that:
|
|
|
|
- [Modify Code](#modify-code)
|
|
- [Run Tasks](#run-tasks)
|
|
- [Display Information](#display-information)
|
|
- [Integrate with Nx Cloud](#integrate-with-nx-cloud)
|
|
|
|
There is also a section for separate commands that can [create a new Nx workspace](#create-commands) for you.
|
|
|
|
{% callout type="note" title="Parsing Nx Commands" %}
|
|
|
|
If the command that you pass to Nx is not one of the keywords listed below, it will try to interpret the command as if it were a task. So Nx will parse your command in the following ways and execute the first syntax that is valid.
|
|
|
|
1. `nx [built-in-command] [...arguments]`
|
|
2. `nx [task-name-for-root-project] [...arguments]`
|
|
3. `nx [task-name] [project-name] [...arguments]`
|
|
|
|
{% /callout %}
|
|
|
|
## Modify Code
|
|
|
|
These commands modify your codebase in some way.
|
|
|
|
### init
|
|
|
|
Adds Nx to any type of workspace. It installs nx, creates an `nx.json` configuration file and optionally sets up remote caching.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nx init
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
{% link-card title="Add to Any Project" type="Recipe" url="/recipes/adopting-nx/adding-to-existing-project" /%}
|
|
{% link-card title="Migrate from Angular CLI" type="Recipe" url="technologies/angular/migration/angular" /%}
|
|
|
|
{% /cards %}
|
|
|
|
### add
|
|
|
|
Install a plugin and initialize it.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nx add my-plugin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% cards %}
|
|
|
|
{% link-card title="nx add" type="API Reference" url="/reference/core-api/nx/documents/add" /%}
|
|
{% link-card title="Plugin Registry" type="Reference" url="/plugin-registry" /%}
|
|
|
|
{% /cards %}
|
|
|
|
### generate
|
|
|
|
Runs a generator that creates and/or modifies files based on a generator from a plugin.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nx generate @nx/react:component libs/my-lib/src/lib/my-component
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% cards %}
|
|
{% link-card title="nx generate" type="API Reference" url="/reference/core-api/nx/documents/generate" /%}
|
|
{% link-card title="Generate Code" type="Feature" url="/features/generate-code" /%}
|
|
{% /cards %}
|
|
|
|
### migrate
|
|
|
|
Creates a migrations file or runs migrations from the migrations file.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nx migrate latest
|
|
nx migrate --run-migrations
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% cards %}
|
|
{% link-card title="nx migrate" type="API Reference" url="/reference/core-api/nx/documents/migrate" /%}
|
|
{% link-card title="Automate Updating Dependencies" type="Feature" url="/features/automate-updating-dependencies" /%}
|
|
{% /cards %}
|
|
|
|
### import
|
|
|
|
Import code and git history from another repository into this repository.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nx import https://github.com/myorg/inventory-app.git apps/inventory
|
|
nx import ../inventory-app apps/inventory
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
{% link-card title="Import an Existing Project into an Nx Workspace" type="Recipe" url="/recipes/adopting-nx/import-project" /%}
|
|
{% /cards %}
|
|
|
|
### repair
|
|
|
|
Repair any configuration that is no longer supported by Nx.
|
|
|
|
Specifically, this will run every migration within the nx package against the current repository. Doing so should fix any configuration details left behind if the repository was previously updated to a new Nx version without using nx migrate.
|
|
|
|
If your repository has only ever updated to newer versions of Nx with nx migrate, running nx repair should do nothing.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nx repair
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% cards %}
