Sitecore CLI version 4.0.0 now available!

I'm excited to announce the release of Sitecore CLI version 4.0.0! The vision for the CLI is to provide productivity, convenience, automation, and extensibility for development teams and engineers working with the Sitecore Platform.

The new release (v 4.0.0) contains feature updates for the Serialization and Publishing plugins, a new Indexing plugin, and a new ResourcePackaging (Item as Resources) plugin.

Sitecore Serialization - Feature updates

Serialization now supports Excluded Fields configurations. This empowers development teams with ability to decide what fields are tracked and serialized when using the Sitecore Content Serialization and the Sitecore CLI.

For global field exclusions, entries in the sitecore.json file can be made:

For module specific field exclusions, entries in a module.json file can be made:

Serialization now supports Sitecore Role configurations. This allows development teams to pull Sitecore Roles as serialized .yml files which can then be source controlled and pushed across developers and their Sitecore environments.

Additionally we have made several usability improvements and fixes which are detailed in our Release Notes.

Sitecore Publishing - Feature updates

The serialization and publishing plugin now support the ability to specify which publishing target(s) to use during a publish operation. Default is web.

New - Sitecore Indexing plugin

A new plugin is available which allows for command line based execution focused on Sitecore Indexes for all of your Sitecore XM environments. The following functionality is supported within the new plugin:

List Indexes

Populate Solr Managed Schema

Rebuild Indexes

View Index Statistics

New - Sitecore ResourcePackage plugin (Item as Resource)

A new plugin is available which allows for Item as Resource package creation. Using the Sitecore CLI, you can create Item as Resource files for packaging and installation of your own Sitecore Definition items based on Sitecore Content Serialization using the create command. You can also create Item as Resource files based on serialized items produced by Unicorn using the unicorn command.
