CLI for basic resources

• I have joined the ZITADEL chat

Describe your problem

While writing integration guides for ZITADEL, most oftenly we refer to the Console and have to explain where to click to create new resources. While we could provide CURL commands to do the same more programatically, this gets a bit messy for some reasons eg,

• auth header
• x-org header
• data values

As ZITADEL targets developers it would make sense to allow configuration of basic resources via CLI.

Describe your ideal solution

As a developer, I want to create basic resources via CLI, so that I can configure my ZITADEL setup quickly.

We should focus on the basic cases as a MVP. My proposal as acceptance criteria.

Acceptance criteria

• Authentication of service accounts via CLI (also PAT ok)
• Create Organizations
• Create Projects
• Create Applications (5 client types)
• Create users (human)
• Add identity provider (all templates)

Version

No response

Environment

ZITADEL Cloud

Additional Context

Personally I like the Google-Style approach to it where you can switch between configuration in Console or CLI. Stripe has a very nice CLI interface as well.
