Beyond dev, dev:build, dev:add, and dev:typecheck, the yarn twenty CLI provides commands for executing functions, viewing logs, and managing app installations.
Executing functions (yarn twenty dev:function:exec)
Run a logic function manually without triggering it via HTTP, cron, or database event:
# Execute by function name
yarn twenty dev:function:exec -n create-new-post-card
# Execute by universalIdentifier
yarn twenty dev:function:exec -u e56d363b-0bdc-4d8a-a393-6f0d1c75bdcf
# Pass a JSON payload
yarn twenty dev:function:exec -n create-new-post-card -p '{"name": "Hello"}'
# Execute the post-install function
yarn twenty dev:function:exec --postInstall
Viewing function logs (yarn twenty dev:function:logs)
Stream execution logs for your app’s logic functions:
# Stream all function logs
yarn twenty dev:function:logs
# Filter by function name
yarn twenty dev:function:logs -n create-new-post-card
# Filter by universalIdentifier
yarn twenty dev:function:logs -u e56d363b-0bdc-4d8a-a393-6f0d1c75bdcf
This is different from yarn twenty docker:logs, which shows the Docker container logs. yarn twenty dev:function:logs shows your app’s function execution logs from the Twenty server.
Generating the typed client (yarn twenty dev:generate-client)
Regenerate the typed API client (twenty-client-sdk) from the active remote’s schema, without building or syncing an app. Use it to get a typed client in any project — like a backend service living in a separate repository — that talks to your Twenty instance:
# In your project (no Twenty app definition required)
yarn add twenty-sdk twenty-client-sdk
# Connect to the Twenty instance to generate the client from
yarn twenty remote:add
# Generate the typed client into node_modules/twenty-client-sdk
yarn twenty dev:generate-client
import { CoreApiClient } from 'twenty-client-sdk/core';
The client is generated inside node_modules, so it is not committed with your code. Run yarn twenty dev:generate-client after every install (for example in a postinstall script or in CI).
Uninstalling an app (yarn twenty app:uninstall)
Remove your app from the active workspace:
yarn twenty app:uninstall
# Skip the confirmation prompt
yarn twenty app:uninstall --yes
Managing remotes
A remote is a Twenty server that your app connects to. During setup, the scaffolder creates one for you automatically. You can add more remotes or switch between them at any time.
# Add a new remote (opens a browser for OAuth login)
yarn twenty remote:add
# Connect to a local Twenty server (auto-detects port 2020 or 3000)
yarn twenty remote:add --local
# Add a remote non-interactively (useful for CI)
yarn twenty remote:add --url https://your-twenty-server.com --api-key $TWENTY_API_KEY --as my-remote
# List all configured remotes
yarn twenty remote:list
# Set the active remote
yarn twenty remote:use <name>
~/.twenty/config.json.
