How To Use?

You can execute it via python cm-cli.py.
For example, if you want to update all custom nodes:
- In the ComfyUI-Manager directory, you can execute the command python cm-cli.py update all.
- If running from the ComfyUI directory, you can specify the path to cm-cli.py like this: python custom_nodes/ComfyUI-Manager/cm-cli.py update all.

Prerequisite

It must be run in the same Python environment as the one running ComfyUI.
- If using a venv, you must run it with the venv activated.
- If using a portable version, and you are in the directory with the run_nvidia_gpu.bat file, you should execute the command as follows: .\python_embeded\python.exe ComfyUI\custom_nodes\ComfyUI-Manager\cm-cli.py update all
The path for ComfyUI can be set with the COMFYUI_PATH environment variable. If omitted, a warning message will appear, and the path will be set relative to the installed location of ComfyUI-Manager: WARN: The `COMFYUI_PATH` environment variable is not set. Assuming `custom_nodes/ComfyUI-Manager/../../` as the ComfyUI path.

Features

1. --channel, --mode

For viewing information and managing custom nodes, you can set the information database through --channel and --mode.
For instance, executing the command python cm-cli.py update all --channel recent --mode remote will operate based on the latest information from remote rather than local data embedded in the current ComfyUI-Manager repo and will only target the list in the recent channel.
--channel, --mode are only available with the commands simple-show, show, install, uninstall, update, disable, enable, fix.

2. Viewing Management Information

[show|simple-show] - show provides detailed information, while simple-show displays information more simply.

Executing a command like python cm-cli.py show installed will display detailed information about the installed custom nodes.

enabled, disabled: Shows nodes that have been enabled or disabled among the installed custom nodes.
installed: Shows all nodes that have been installed, regardless of whether they are enabled or disabled.
not-installed: Shows a list of custom nodes that have not been installed.
all: Shows a list of all custom nodes.
snapshot: Displays snapshot information of the currently installed custom nodes. When viewed with show, it is displayed in JSON format, and with simple-show, it is displayed simply, along with the commit hash.
snapshot-list: Shows a list of snapshot files stored in ComfyUI-Manager/snapshots.

3. Managing Custom Nodes

You can apply management functions by listing the names of custom nodes, such as python cm-cli.py install ComfyUI-Impact-Pack ComfyUI-Inspire-Pack ComfyUI_experiments.
The names of the custom nodes are as shown by show and are the names of the git repositories. (Plans are to update the use of nicknames in the future.)

The update, disable, enable, fix functions can be specified for all.
Detailed Operations
- install: Installs the specified custom nodes.
- reinstall: Removes and then reinstalls the specified custom nodes.
- uninstall: Uninstalls the specified custom nodes.
- update: Updates the specified custom nodes.
- disable: Disables the specified custom nodes.
- enable: Enables the specified custom nodes.
- fix: Attempts to fix dependencies for the specified custom nodes.

4. Snapshot Management

python cm-cli.py save-snapshot [--output <snapshot .json/.yaml>]: Saves the current snapshot.
- With --output, you can save a file in .yaml format to any specified path.
python cm-cli.py restore-snapshot <snapshot .json/.yaml>: Restores to the specified snapshot.
- If a file exists at the snapshot path, that snapshot is loaded.
- If no file exists at the snapshot path, it is implicitly assumed to be in ComfyUI-Manager/snapshots.
- --pip-non-url: Restore for pip packages registered on PyPI.
- --pip-non-local-url: Restore for pip packages registered at web URLs.
- --pip-local-url: Restore for pip packages specified by local paths.

5. CLI Only Mode

You can set whether to use ComfyUI-Manager solely via CLI.

cli-only-mode [enable|disable]

This mode can be used if you want to restrict the use of ComfyUI-Manager through the GUI for security or policy reasons.
- When CLI only mode is enabled, ComfyUI-Manager is loaded in a very restricted state, the internal web API is disabled, and the Manager button is not displayed in the main menu.

6. Dependency Restoration

restore-dependencies

This command can be used if custom nodes are installed under the ComfyUI/custom_nodes path but their dependencies are not installed.
It is useful when starting a new cloud instance, like colab, where dependencies need to be reinstalled and installation scripts re-executed.
It can also be utilized if ComfyUI is reinstalled and only the custom_nodes path has been backed up and restored.

7. Clear

In the GUI, installations, updates, or snapshot restorations are scheduled to execute the next time ComfyUI is launched. The clear command clears this scheduled state, ensuring no pre-execution actions are applied.
