AWX Command Line Interface
==========================
awx is the official command-line client for AWX. It:
* Uses naming and structure consistent with the AWX HTTP API
* Provides consistent output formats with optional machine-parsable formats
* To the extent possible, auto-detects API versions, available endpoints, and
feature support across multiple versions of AWX.
Potential uses include:
* Configuring and launching jobs/playbooks
* Checking on the status and output of job runs
* Managing objects like organizations, users, teams, etc...
Installation
------------
The preferred way to install the AWX CLI is through pip directly from GitHub:
pip install "https://github.com/ansible/awx/archive/$VERSION.tar.gz#egg=awxkit&subdirectory=awxkit"
...where ``$VERSION`` is the version of AWX you're running. To see a list of all available releases, visit: https://github.com/ansible/awx/releases
