# CLI Overview

> Manage translations from the command line

The Prismy CLI provides commands for managing translations, tailored to your integration setup.

## Two use cases

Choose the guide that matches how you use Prismy:

### 1. GitHub or GitLab integration

If Prismy is connected to your GitHub or GitLab repo, translations sync automatically and you can trigger them via PR comments. Use the CLI to **generate translations locally** during development.

### 2. Prismy Hosted

If you use Prismy Hosted without native GitHub/GitLab, you sync translation files yourself. Use **`prismy push`** and **`prismy pull`** to upload and download translations (locally or in CI).

## Quick start

1. **Get an API key** from [Prismy Settings](https://app.prismy.io/settings).
2. **Install the CLI**: `npm install -g prismy-cli`
3. **Authenticate**: `prismy auth <your-api-key>`
4. Follow the guide for your setup: [GitHub/GitLab](/tech/cli/github-gitlab) or [Prismy Hosted](/tech/cli/prismy-hosted).
