CF Targets Plugin
This plugin facilitates the use of multiple api targets with the Cloud Foundry CLI.
It originated from the need for a Go play project, and the realization that I was frequently switching back and forth between development and various test environments, using tricks like
CF_HOME=~/cf-development cf push my-app
CF_HOME=~/cf-production cf push my-app
This plugin makes switching a lot less painful by allowing you to save your currently configured target using a name, then switching back to it by name at any point.
Usage
Configure and save any number of named targets
$ cf api <development-target-url>
$ cf login
...
$ cf save-target development
Followed by
$ cf api <production-target-url>
$ cf login
...
$ cf save-target production
After saving targets, easily switch back and forth between them using:
$ cf set-target development
$ cf target
API Endpoint: <development-target-url>
...
$ cf set-target production
$ cf target
API Endpoint: <production-target-url>
...
View saved targets using
$ cf targets
development
production (current)
