Dead simple command line utility to clone balenaCloud applications so you don't have to. It's more of a balena.yml file creator for existing applications at this point.
Install & just straight up clone! We will prompt you for the information that's what the CLI is for. Some prerequisites you need to have:
- Need to have Node & NPM installed in your system.
- Need to have balenaCLI authenticated with your current account from where you would like to clone applications.
