CLI Commands

The Barry CLI includes tools to scaffold projects, run development and production servers, clean caches, inspect routes, and validate your setup. It provides a fast, zero-config developer experience right out of the box.

Using the Barry CLI

The CLI gives you direct control over your Barry app’s lifecycle. From starting servers to clearing caches and inspecting project state, everything is just a command away.

barry dev

Starts a development server with:

• Live reload on file changes
• Logging and trace output
• No caching (see Dev Mode)

barry dev

Visit http://localhost:8080 (or your configured port) to preview your site locally.

barry prod

Runs the production server with:

• Static caching enabled
• Minimal logging
• All logic routed through optimized flow

barry prod

Use this to simulate real-world performance and test pre-cached HTML rendering.

barry clear

Clears all cached HTML in /cache so routes are re-rendered on the next request.

barry clear

This is useful if you’ve changed content, server logic, or data sources. Learn more in Clearing the Cache.

barry check

Validates your project for common issues like:

• Missing or malformed index.html files
• Broken layout templates
• Unused or conflicting template blocks

barry check

barry info

Prints diagnostic and structural data about your Barry project, including:

• Resolved routes
• Detected layouts and components
• Configuration values

barry info

Use this to confirm Barry is correctly parsing your project structure or during CI.
