Merge app CLI

What is Merge app CLI?

Merge app CLI allows you to use Merge app through the Contentful CLI. You can compare content type differences between environments, export a migration script and apply it right from the Contentful CLI, without switching to the developer's UI in the web app.

Automate merging your content type changes by integrating Merge app CLI into your CI/CD pipeline.

Requirements
