Posts

List and inspect:

halo post list
halo post list --keyword halo --publish-phase PUBLISHED
halo post get my-post --json

Create or update:

halo post create --title "Hello Halo" --content "# Hello Halo" --publish true
halo post create --title "Hello Halo" --content "<h1>Hello Halo</h1>" --raw-type html
halo post update my-post --title "Updated title"
halo post update my-post --content "Updated content" --publish true
halo post update my-post --new-name my-post-renamed

Taxonomy-aware create/update:

halo post create \
  --title "Release Notes" \
  --content "Release notes content" \
  --categories News,CLI \
  --tags Halo,Release

JSON round-trip:

halo post export-json my-post --output ./post.json
halo post import-json --file ./post.json --force

Markdown round-trip:

halo post export-markdown my-post
halo post export-markdown my-post --output ./post.md
halo post import-markdown --file ./post.md --force

Rules:

• --raw-type defaults to markdown, so --content is rendered as Markdown unless you set --raw-type html.
• Prefer --content for direct inline updates, or use import-markdown for Markdown files.
• open only works for published content; with --json it returns the URL.
• Import payload must contain post.metadata.name.
• Import payload must contain content.raw or content.content.

Post Categories

Manage post categories:

halo post category list
halo post category list --keyword Technology
halo post category get category-abc123
halo post category create --display-name "Technology" --slug "tech"
halo post category create --display-name "News" --description "Latest news" --priority 100
halo post category update category-abc123 --display-name "Tech News"
halo post category delete category-abc123 --force

Post Tags

Manage post tags:

halo post tag list
halo post tag list --keyword Halo
halo post tag get tag-abc123
halo post tag create --display-name "Halo" --slug "halo" --color "#1890ff"
halo post tag update tag-abc123 --display-name "Halo CMS"
halo post tag delete tag-abc123 --force

Single Pages

List and inspect:

halo single-page list
halo single-page get about --json

Create or update:

halo single-page create --title "About" --content "# About" --publish true
halo single-page create --title "About" --content "<h1>Hello Halo</h1>" --raw-type html
halo single-page update about --title "About Halo"
halo single-page update about --new-name about-page

JSON round-trip:

halo single-page export-json about --output ./about.json
halo single-page import-json --file ./about.json --force

Rules:

• The command name is single-page, not singlePage.
• Single pages do not use post category/tag flows.
• There is no --pinned option for single-page.
• Import payload must contain page.metadata.name.

Safety And Automation

• Use --profile when more than one Halo profile exists.
• Use --json for scripts.
• Use --force for destructive non-interactive commands like delete or overwrite-style imports.
• Read current state before mutating when the target resource is uncertain.
