CLI — Interactive mode

Interactive mode walks you through every criterion with a yes/no prompt. It is the fastest way to get a baseline for any project, with no configuration files needed.

Basic usage

dm assess

You will be prompted for a project name, then asked a yes/no question for each of the 20 criteria.

Options

# Provide the project name upfront to skip the prompt
dm assess --project-name "my-api"

# Also attach a project URL to the saved record
dm assess --project-name "my-api" --project-url "https://github.com/org/my-api"

What happens after the assessment

At the end of the session, results are printed to the terminal and saved to the local SQLite database for history tracking.

See Example: terminal output for a full sample of the output.

Tip

dm is a convenient alias for devops-maturity, making it quicker to type.
