CF Targets Plugin

This plugin facilitates the use of multiple api targets with the Cloud Foundry CLI.

It originated from the need for a Go play project, and the realization that I was frequently switching back and forth between development and various test environments, using tricks like

CF_HOME=~/cf-development cf push my-app
CF_HOME=~/cf-production cf push my-app

This plugin makes switching a lot less painful by allowing you to save your currently configured target using a name, then switching back to it by name at any point.

Usage

Configure and save any number of named targets

$ cf api <development-target-url>
$ cf login
...
$ cf save-target development

Followed by

$ cf api <production-target-url>
$ cf login
...
$ cf save-target production

After saving targets, easily switch back and forth between them using:

$ cf set-target development
$ cf target
API Endpoint:   <development-target-url>
...
$ cf set-target production
$ cf target
API Endpoint:   <production-target-url>
...

View saved targets using

$ cf targets
development
production (current)
