Hey everyone,
I’m trying to find out whether there is any **pure CLI-based Kinsta / DevKinsta tooling** for local development workflows.
Specifically, I’m looking for something that lets me pull a Kinsta environment, ideally staging, into my local machine without using the DevKinsta GUI.
The workflow I’m looking for is something like:
```auto
kinsta pull --site my-site --env staging
```
or something equivalent that would:
- pull files from a Kinsta staging environment
- pull/export/import the database
- handle URL replacement for local development
- optionally integrate with Docker / local WordPress tooling
- be scriptable in CI or local setup scripts
I know DevKinsta supports pulling from Kinsta through the UI, and I know Kinsta has API endpoints for some WordPress hosting workflows. But I’m specifically wondering whether there is currently any official, unofficial, or community-built **CLI-first tool** for this kind of workflow.

Howdy @wc_coder 👋 ,
That’s an excellent idea friend.
We unfortunately do not have a dedicated CLI, however, you can access the CLI through Docker to perform your actions. There’s just currently no way to trigger the push to staging from the CLI.
I definitely see the need for a CLI/hooks so please feel free to submit this as a [feature request](https://community.kinsta.com/c/devkinsta/feature-requests/6) for our devs! They are actively working to make DevKinsta as developer-friendly as possible, and I think this would be a great addition.
