Downloading data

The default format is 'excel' so the following is equivelent.

cute download --content-type <contentType> 

cute download --content-type <contentType> --format excel

For comma seperated values:

cute download --content-type <contentType> --format csv

For tab seperated values:

cute download --content-type <contentType> --format tsv

For json output:

cute download --content-type <contentType> --format json

For downloading to Yaml:

cute download --content-type <contentType> --format yaml

Typing cute download --help will list all currently available options and usage

USAGE:
    cute download [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help            Prints help information
    -c, --content-type    Specifies the content type to download data for
    -f, --format          The output format for the download operation (Excel/Csv/Tsv/Json/Yaml)

Uploading/synchronizing data

You can upload content from a local file to contentful. The local file can be a previously downloaded and updated excel, sdv, tsv, json or yaml file.

Changes are only applied to Contentful if --apply is specified. By default no changes will be applied so it works a bit like a "what-if" powershel switch without --apply.

Typing cute upload --help will sow the full usage and options.

USAGE:
    cute upload [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help            Prints help information
    -c, --content-type    Specifies the content type to download data for
    -p, --path            The local path to the file containg the data to sync
    -f, --format          The format of the file specified in '--path' (Excel/Csv/Tsv/Json/Yaml)
    -a, --apply           Apply and publish all the calculated changes. The default behaviour is to only list the detected changes
