orvanta init & sync

The Orvanta CLI keeps your scripts, flows, and apps as files in a directory and synchronises them with a workspace. This makes your automation reviewable in git and promotable between environments.

orvanta init

Section titled “orvanta init”

Initialise the current directory as an Orvanta project.

Terminal window
orvanta init

orvanta init creates:

  • a sync configuration file (which folders/types to track),
  • AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md — the agent prompt for AI coding assistants,
  • .claude/skills/ — per-task guides used by tools like Claude Code.

It also offers to bind a workspace profile to the current git branch.

orvanta sync pull

Section titled “orvanta sync pull”

Pull remote changes and apply them locally.

Terminal window
orvanta sync pull

orvanta sync push

Section titled “orvanta sync push”

Push local changes and apply them remotely. This is how you deploy.

Terminal window
orvanta sync push

Live preview

Section titled “Live preview”

While editing, orvanta dev watches local files and live-reloads a preview page. It does not deploy — use orvanta sync push for that.

Terminal window
orvanta dev --path f/my_folder/my_flow
