Full documentation at http://www.rebar3.org/

ESSENTIAL COMMANDS

For the full command list, see the COMMANDS section.

With rebar3 help <task>, commands and plugins will display their own help information.

Compile the current project

Show information about templates or use one

Fetch the newest version of the Hex index

Run one or more commands in a sequence

Start the current project in a REPL. You can then use r3:do(task) to call it on the project without dropping the current state.
