Installation

To build the executable with Go use the following command or use one of the pre-built binaries from the bin folder.

$ go build -o bin/rgcli_version

Usage

Run the executable file with the required flags,

// to test connectivity
$ rgcli_version

// to connect with custom parameters like hostname, port, etc.
$ rgcli_version -hostname=redis-xyz.com -port=4999 -username=redis123 -password=1234

// to get existing data
$ rgcli_version -data

// to get existing data with custom parameters
$ rgcli_version -hostname=redis-xyz.com -port=4999 -username=redis123 -password=1234 -data

// to get data and config
$ rgcli_version -data -config

// to get config matching a specific pattern
$ rgcli_version -configWithPattern="timeout"

// inserts sample data based on the count argument
$ rgcli_version -insertSampleData -count=10

// to test read and write to Redis with the count argument
$ rgcli_version -testReadWrite -count=10

(Optional) To compile for a specific OS use the GOOS env variable, if direnv is used modify the .envrc file.

// to compile binary for linux
export GOOS=linux
