title: CLI
description: yarn twenty commands for executing functions, streaming logs, managing app installations, and switching remotes.
icon: "terminal"
---
Beyond `dev`, `dev:build`, `dev:add`, and `dev:typecheck`, the `yarn twenty` CLI provides commands for executing functions, viewing logs, and managing app installations.
## Executing functions (`yarn twenty dev:function:exec`)
Run a logic function manually without triggering it via HTTP, cron, or database event:
```bash filename="Terminal"
# Execute by function name
yarn twenty dev:function:exec -n create-new-post-card
# Execute by universalIdentifier
yarn twenty dev:function:exec -u e56d363b-0bdc-4d8a-a393-6f0d1c75bdcf
# Pass a JSON payload
yarn twenty dev:function:exec -n create-new-post-card -p '{"name": "Hello"}'
# Execute the post-install function
yarn twenty dev:function:exec --postInstall
```
## Viewing function logs (`yarn twenty dev:function:logs`)
Stream execution logs for your app's logic functions:
```bash filename="Terminal"
# Stream all function logs
yarn twenty dev:function:logs
# Filter by function name
yarn twenty dev:function:logs -n create-new-post-card
# Filter by universalIdentifier
yarn twenty dev:function:logs -u e56d363b-0bdc-4d8a-a393-6f0d1c75bdcf
```
<Note>
This is different from `yarn twenty docker:logs`, which shows the Docker container logs. `yarn twenty dev:function:logs` shows your app's function execution logs from the Twenty server.
</Note>
## Generating the typed client (`yarn twenty dev:generate-client`)
Regenerate the typed API client (`twenty-client-sdk`) from the active remote's schema, without building or syncing an app. Use it to get a typed client in any project — like a backend service living in a separate repository — that talks to your Twenty instance:
```bash filename="Terminal"
# In your project (no Twenty app definition required)
yarn add twenty-sdk twenty-client-sdk
# Connect to the Twenty instance to generate the client from
yarn twenty remote:add
# Generate the typed client into node_modules/twenty-client-sdk
yarn twenty dev:generate-client
```
Then import the client in your code:
```typescript
import { CoreApiClient } from 'twenty-client-sdk/core';
```
Re-run the command whenever your data model changes to refresh the generated types.
<Note>
The client is generated inside `node_modules`, so it is not committed with your code. Run `yarn twenty dev:generate-client` after every install (for example in a `postinstall` script or in CI).
</Note>
## Uninstalling an app (`yarn twenty app:uninstall`)
Remove your app from the active workspace:
```bash filename="Terminal"
yarn twenty app:uninstall
# Skip the confirmation prompt
yarn twenty app:uninstall --yes
```
## Managing remotes
A **remote** is a Twenty server that your app connects to. During setup, the scaffolder creates one for you automatically. You can add more remotes or switch between them at any time.
```bash filename="Terminal"
# Add a new remote (opens a browser for OAuth login)
yarn twenty remote:add
# Connect to a local Twenty server (auto-detects port 2020 or 3000)
yarn twenty remote:add --local
# Add a remote non-interactively (useful for CI)
yarn twenty remote:add --url https://your-twenty-server.com --api-key $TWENTY_API_KEY --as my-remote
# List all configured remotes
yarn twenty remote:list
# Set the active remote
yarn twenty remote:use <name>
```
Your credentials are stored in `~/.twenty/config.json`.
