- bheadmaster 2y agoI mean to write "most of my scripts". My mistake. > Have you ever used the Octopus Deploy command line tool? Thankfully, no :) but I've had similar experience with other pieces of software. Some even provide ability to output JSON, but you need to find the right incantation to do so (looking at you, Docker CLI, and your --format="{{json .}}"!)
