# Command-line Interface

Currently, there are four cli commands in VuePress: build, dev, eject and info.

If they are not enough for you, you can also create your own commands.

# Usage

vuepress <command> [options]

Commands:
  dev [targetDir]    start development server
  build [targetDir]  build dir as static site
  eject [targetDir]  copy the default theme into .vuepress/theme for customization.
  info               Shows debugging information about the local environment

You can always add --help flag for more information.
