# Quickstart

This page overviews the AB Tasty CLI and its command patterns and capabilities.

### What does the CLI can offer?

The AB Tasty CLI is a set of commands to create and manage your AB Tasty resources for feature experimentation and web experimentation products such as projects, campaigns, teams, etc... You can use these commands to perform common AB Tasty platform actions from your terminal or through scripts and other automation.

Our CLI is built on top of our Remote Control API, enabling you to use direct API calls or use the CLI.

For example, you can use the AB Tasty CLI to manage :

* Feature experimentation:
  * Projects, campaigns, flags, targeting keys, goals, etc...
  * Users and environments
  * Panic mode
* Web experimentation:
  * campaigns, variations, accounts, elementJS, etc...
  * Pull & Push global codes (account, campaign, variation, elementJS)
