Previously used tusk-drift-cli? This repo has moved to tusk-cli, and older installed CLI versions may not auto-update across the rename. Please reinstall using the current install instructions below.
The Tusk CLI provides tools for automated testing workflows. It supports two products:
- Tusk Drift - Live traffic record/replay as API tests
- Tusk Unit - Automated unit tests
Record real API traffic and replay it as deterministic tests. Works locally and in CI/CD with Tusk Drift Cloud.
tusk drift setup # AI setup agent
tusk drift run # Replay recorded traces
tusk drift run --cloud # Run against Tusk Drift CloudView, review, and apply unit tests from Tusk directly from your terminal or automation pipeline.

tusk unit get-run <run-id> # Full run details
