About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Netlify CLI is the official command-line tool for site operations, local development, builds, deploys, environment variables, Functions, and related Netlify workflows. `netlify dev` can combine the framework dev server with Netlify-specific proxy and redirect behavior locally.

Supplemental curator note

The current `netlify-cli` package is 27.8.0 and requires Node.js 22.13.0+. The README recommends installing the CLI as a project development dependency in CI rather than globally so a lockfile can keep builds reproducible. `netlify dev` can run the local framework together with Netlify proxy and redirect behavior.

Try it in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Pin the CLI in the project

    Install it as a local development dependency, matching the README recommendation for reproducible CI.

    npm install --save-dev netlify-cli
  2. 2

    Run Netlify Dev offline

    Start the local framework plus Netlify proxy and redirect behavior without network-dependent features.

    npx netlify dev --offline
  3. 3

    Test the production build locally

    Run the Netlify build locally before any deployment step.

    npx netlify build
