Many commands in the nitro CLI share common options. These options are used to configure the CLI's behavior and authentication. Here are the common options:

--cloud-url <cloud-url>

Specifies the URL where the Nitro server is located. By default, this points to the shared clusters at api.chillicream.com. If you have a self-hosted instance or a dedicated instance, you need to change this value to point to your server.

You can set this option from the environment variable NITRO_CLOUD_URL.

--api-key <api-key>

Accepts API keys created via the nitro api-key create command or personal access tokens (PATs) created with the nitro pat create command. If you are running in the interactive mode in the CLI, you can also use nitro login to authenticate.

You can set this option from the environment variable NITRO_API_KEY.

--output <json>

By default, the CLI uses rich text output suitable for human reading. If you want to parse the output programmatically (e.g., using jq), you can use this option to get the output in JSON format. This is especially useful when using the CLI in automation scripts or CI/CD pipelines.

You can set this option from the environment variable NITRO_OUTPUT_FORMAT.
