Docs

Serve the Echo framework documentation locally for offline access.

echo-cli docs -p 3000      # Serve docs on port 3000
echo-cli docs --refresh    # Force refresh docs cache

Flags:

• -p, --port string Port to serve docs on (default "8080")
• --refresh Force refresh cache, bypasses cached docs

Examples:

# Serve docs locally
echo-cli docs

# Serve on custom port
echo-cli docs -p 8081

# Refresh the docs cache
echo-cli docs --refresh

Cache

The cookbook and docs commands cache GitHub API responses and downloaded files to speed up subsequent requests.

Cache location: ~/.echo-cli/cache/

• api/ - GitHub API responses (directory listings)
• files/ - Downloaded recipe and docs files

Cache TTL: 24 hours (default)

Use --refresh flag to bypass the cache and fetch fresh data from GitHub.
