CLI

CLI reference

After installer-based setup, use registry-cli from a new terminal. Portable releases use Registry.Cli.exe from the extracted folder. The CLI shares Registry's core path parsing, architecture views, import/export behavior, and supported writes.

registry-cli help
registry-cli roots
registry-cli ls HKCU\Software
registry-cli get HKCU\Environment Path
registry-cli find HKCU\Software Registry --keys --names
registry-cli export-tree HKCU\Environment

Read-only commands

roots, ls, get, find, export, and export-tree inspect or write an export file. Use --32 or --64 to select a registry view where it matters.

Commands that modify the registry

set-string, set-dword, delete-value, rename-value, create-key, delete-key, rename-key, import, load-hive, and unload-hive can change system state. Export the target key before use and start under a disposable HKCU\Software path.

registry-cli create-key HKCU\Software RegistryPreview
registry-cli set-string HKCU\Software\RegistryPreview Example "test value"
registry-cli export HKCU\Software\RegistryPreview

Run registry-cli help for the complete argument syntax. Quote paths and values containing spaces.
