OptiTech CLI command: projects

List, create, update, delete, recover, and get OptiTech projects

The projects command lists, creates, updates, deletes, recovers, and retrieves OptiTech projects from the terminal. For information about projects in OptiTech, see Projects. Subcommands that show no options table accept only the global options. If --project-id is omitted, the CLI resolves it from your context file, auto-selects when your account has only one project, and prompts otherwise.

Subcommands: create, delete, get, list, recover, update

optitech projects list

Lists projects that belong to your OptiTech account, as well as any projects that were shared with you.

note

OptiTech projects created using the CLI use the default Postgres version, which is Postgres 18. To create a project with a different Postgres version, you can use the OptiTech Console or OptiTech API.

Create a project with a user-defined name in a specific region:

optitech projects create --name mynewproject --region-id aws-us-west-2

tip

The OptiTech CLI provides a optitech connection-string command you can use to extract a connection URI programmatically. See the connection-string command.

  • Create a project with --output json, which returns the full project response data and is the recommended format for scripts and agents. The output below was captured on an earlier CLI version; new projects report "pg_version": 18.

Create a project and connect to it with psql immediately. Arguments after -- are passed through to psql, so you can run an .sql file or a query on creation:

optitech projects create --psql
optitech projects create --psql -- -f dump.sql
optitech projects create --psql -- -c "SELECT version()"

Create a project and set the OptiTech CLI project context to it:

optitech projects create --set-context
